Can one of you transaxle gurus tell me if removing the reverse light switch will let the lube out? My switch seems to be bad.

BTW, I answered my own question: it does leak, but very slowly. With the stick and pin removed, it leaks faster but still about only a drop per 15 seconds.

Stationary. If you are moving and have that hole in the side un plugged, it will be a constant drip. I have to measure the travel to circuit closure in the switches to then know how long to fabricate a pin to be. 80% of my builds show up with a pin that is too far gone (missing 2mm or so). Some of the newer switches need far more intrusion into the switch to close the circuit so even stock pins wont work. Glad yours are working.
