<VV> Back up switch

[corvairduval at cox.net]

The "plug" is a 1/2-13 bolt with sealer or o-ring on it. Maybe a 1/2" long.

Sounds like a transmission rail problem, not a switch problem. The plunger
of the switch is pushed by "something" in the transmission that normally
does not do it in first and third. Like Mark says, look at the end of the
switch for damage, then look inside the hole, warning, fluid will be coming
at you!

On the way outside the box thought, try washers to shim the switch and see
if the problem goes away for now.

Oh, unless you want to cut the wires, you have to remove the tunnel cover
and unplug the switch halfway up the tunnel.

You will need to remove the backup switch. Disconnect the two wires and
back it out of the transmission. Caution,its going to leak tranny fluid so
have some type of plug handy.

I would expect that the end of the switch has been damaged or is wore out
and any movement by the transmission part that actuates the switch sets it
off.
