Don't you two use the SEARCH feature?
The switch is inside the bell housing - activated by the reverse gear shift rod. It's only accessible with the tranny detached from the engine. Everybody knows that!

I don't like the SEARCH button... it precludes us from having these wonderful conversations (granted, over and over again)!

Sorry I am not as brilliant as you are. This my first Alfa and my first complete restoration. I have only had the cat about 14 months.

Rv sw mount
Cannot even come close from the bottom!  Switch it mounted in the top of the housing actuated by shift rods. IF you have wires coming out of a rubber squarish filler in the top of the housing, thats it!  It should close wnen the shift lever is in "R". If NO wires, just a hole, your in need of a switch that can only be installed by pulling the trans. See the parts book, or if you dont have one, send me an E-mail and I'll copy you mine.

Actually I did do a search but it did not produce any direct results. What do you search for, switch? 400 hits; back-up switch? 80 + hits. After reading them for the past hour with no results I hopped on this group because most of you seemed helpful without a lot of wise 
Thanks for the help from George ?. He has one and is sending it to me.
Cheers,
George

Don't worry George. Everyone does not know that unless they have worked on these cars for a while. Sort of like asking which old Ferrari v 12's used needle bearings on the rockers and which did not. Well... ???

Thanks Gordon,
Now, if you ask me about British motorcycles, I could probably tell you all you need to know...

Even I knew; all you had to do was ask, Gordon.

Why not just use the body harness wires and add a on/off switch mounted some where of your choice until the next time you have the tranny out???

Reverse light switch, R & R.
In short, yes it has been tried George. Mice can (and have) been able to get to the switch  , but without the transmission / bellhousing off, you cannot reach anything well enough for repair or replacement . Pull the clutch rod pin, drop the clutch cover pan and have a look. Perhaps a new looker can find a way  . Mechanically proficient mice come to mind  . Gordon Raymond |
