<VV> 4-speed Tranny Sludge

[robynwood at thelearningpark.com]

Interesting, looks like the switch has had a couple of repairs to it then.
The wires are about 3-4 inches max coming off of the switch.  They connect
to what appears to be lamp cord (or some such dual wire/zip cord), with the
connectors tied up directly under the tranny.  Can't follow it up through
the tunnel due to the way I have the car in the air right now.  My "Perfect
Mechanical Condition" ebay purchase of a few years ago has continually kept
my attention on the fact that different owners have way different levels of
"acceptable" repairs... <G>

Ps, does keep life interesting though.... :)

The 4 speed backup switch has the wires attached, there are no blades (1/4"
quick disconnects) or other removable terminals. The wires are long, maybe
4 feet, as the connector is in the tunnel, where the 3 speed back up switch
would reside. It is normal to have to solder wires back to the terminals of
the 4 speed switch, as they get dragged off when hitting road obstacles.

I found a wire/end laying loose on the ground and found that it had come
from
the reverse backup switch.  I removed the switch to see if I could repair it
(PO had soldered wires directly to the base of the contacts, there are no
blades present on the switch.) 

 

Thanks,
