[FC] rampy BU switch

[Paul Steinberg]

The 3 speed back up light switch didn't mount in the transmission, it mounted on the transmission shift tube.  A totally different animal than the 4 speed transmission switches that mount in the bottom of the transmission.  I have never broke one off, but I have seen a lot of them damaged as a result of not removing it before the engine / trans axle assembly was removed from the car.  Usually the wires get torn out of the switch.  Paul in CT.....

  I could swear that I saw a BU switch on eBay a couple of weeks back and 
  indicated as being for a 3 spd FC.  Maybe I just had one to many glasses of 
  Shiraz that evening?  Maybe the seller had it wrong?
