Thanks, yes that's my Feather Duster, back to Factory Colour. I saw Swinger there in the same Golden Fawn colour, but they are a lot rarer to see than they were in the day.
I think your right. I tried using a thinner O-ring to try to gain that extra few thou's but same issue. Can't stand leaks, as I just fixed a few of them. I'll be putting up with the flickering back-light light under the dash for now, until next time I have to drain the Tranny.
Thanks everyone, the graphite lube seems to done the trick. Either that, or disconnecting and reconnecting the speedo cable and ensuring alignment of the cable ends.
Whew..., after rebuilding the Tranny its nice to find out it was just a simple fix like this, and not in the Tranny.
I have the exact same problem. I just rebuilt my Transmission and now have same problem described in the first post. Adjusting the linkage slightly makes no difference.
I do have a newer aftermarket backup switch, but it worked fine before the rebuild. I am wondering if new bearings and thrust...
