<VV> 1969 4 speed

[Jim Becker]

Try backing the switch a turn or two out and see if it works.  I don't recall the exact sealing arrangement of that switch, but it may have a (fairly thick) plastic washer for a gasket.  If backing it out fixes it, an extra gasket might be a long-term fix.  You do have one gasket in there now don't you?

Maybe something attached to the inside of the old switch fell off inside the transmission. Or your shop is giving you the green weenie.

> Strange thing happened today. I had my local garage replace my Clark's repro backup lights switch. It did go onto reverse whey they backed it out from where I parked it. Now it will not go into reverse. My garage is very good. I did supervise the replacement. I was under the car while it was done. So simple. Back up lights do work, but there is a strange noise, but no grinding and it wont go into reverse gear. Thoughts.??
