Hello,
I picked up a father son project 1968 dart 383/727 transmission. Original 6 cyl auto car with console. The reverse lights don't work because the console mounted switch is broken. After surfing the web it appears this is almost $ 150.00 to replace with a factory switch which is crazy $. I can spend some time fabricating my own switch/bracket if need be if I can't find a used one someone wants to part with.
Second option:
Now the transmission does have a 3 pin neutral safety switch/reverse with only the center terminal being used for the neutral safety switch circuit. Unfortunately the two outer pins read open circuit on my ohm meter when shifting thru all the gears so I either have a bad switch or something inside the trans is not aligned up correctly. This is my first time working on this style transmission. Can you remove this switch without the transmission fluid pouring out? That way I could test the switch to determine what my issue is.
