Reverse Switch/Sensor
 

Hey guys,

A few of my friends told me that my reverse lights aren't working and I did some investigating because my first suspicion was that it was botched after my AT to MT swap. It was working fine for a month or so, and all of a sudden stopped.

I got under the car to test my wiring and all seemed to be fine. I pulled the 2 pins out of the reverse switch harness in the tranny and put them together. the lights came on. cool. so i figure that when the car is in reverse the switch somehow grants continuity from one pin to the other, allowing the reverse lights to turn on.

Now I narrowed it down to the switch itself, since it couldn't be that the bulbs were out or I blew a fuse or something like that.

My question is: Is there any way to replace the reverse switch on the transmission? can i do it without pulling the transmission out, because I've pulled the transmission out of the car twice already and I don't really enjoy the process anymore. :icon_no2: any advice would help.

Thanks!

you don't have to pull the transmission to get to the switch. it's easy to get to just jack up the car(or use a lift if you can) and you can use an open end wrench to take it off(forgot what size). disconnect the connector first. torque spec is 19-25 ft. ibs.

make sure to take off the right switch, there is a neutral switch and a 1-2 switch nearby. check the F1-27 in the repair manual and J-2 has a pic of where the switch is at.

Thanks! I'll be doing this as soon as I get my hands on a new switch.

I replaced mine in the car also. I believe the size is a 22mm?
