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.

Yes. It will leak. Leave bad switch in as plug if for no other reason. Check switch to assure IT is bad and not the pin being to worn down. The last pin I made was 29mm, they actually can vary depending on year and mfr of switch.

The last pin I made was 29mm, they actually can vary depending on year and mfr of switch. I was able to make it work. The switch checked out, and the pin action was fine, but did not project into the switch enough to close the circuit. The trans rebuilder had used a thick spacer/washer under the switch. I swapped that out and the pin triggers the switch. |
