Need advice on the B/U light switch
Hi,
90 vert. Backup Lights don't work. Zero juice on the "switch" side while in reverse/power on, so the "Relay" fix that I found on a search didn't work (thanks IceMark & others for help during that debacle). I broke down & spent the $40 bucks for the new switch (yes, its fur lined with gold trim; jeez...).
Problem is, I can't get a wrench on it. Its on the top of the transmission near the starter about mid way back. I might be able to cut the wires & get a socket on it, but I don't have the socket big enough (1 inch would work) at the moment. So here, finally, is the question:
Does anybody know if I can get in from the top thru the console between the seats? Am I gonna have to <gulp> pull the Tranny (WAY out of my league)?
Thanks, this forum rox.

I can't see how you could do it from the top..
remove the exhaust, put a jack under the tranny, remove thw 4 bolts holding the trans mount on, and lower it down enough to get at it.
Don't need to pull the tranny, just drop it enough to get a socket and room to turn it

Is there any gasket or seal I'll need to, or should (while I'm at it) replace?
Thanks, that ought to keep me busy for a few hours this weekend.
