Procedure -

1. Remove the switch using a 22 mm or 7/8” deep well socket or box end wrench.

2. Check for the presence of the reverse pin in the bore under the switch.

3. While watching the reverse pin, move the transmission shifter between the reverse position and any gear. The pin should raise when the transmission is shifted to reverse and lower when the transmission is in neutral. If the pin does not raise and lower, inspect it to see if something is causing it to stick, and inspect it for wear. Also, remove the shift tower and check for wear on the reverse yoke ramp. This ramp can be seen through the shifter opening.

4. Remove the pin from the bore with a magnet and check it for excessive wear. If it is worn, replace it.

5. If the pin is present and not worn, replace the switch with a new one.
