Thank you Scott. Saw your other post too.

So if switch screws too far into cover, it pushes up against selector shaft causing switch to stay closed?

Funny that it tested ok when transmission on the bench.

I guess I should have posted that question more intelligibly.

If a reverse switch fails, can it can fall apart leaving bits and pieces of itself inside the "cover", which in turn cause problems to the selector shaft?
