"It’s on the left side and when the ring is pulled up to move the stick over to reverse the stick pushes a lever on the switch itself."

You are right, that switch is screwd on top of the transmission and is actuated by a lever of some kind inside. When I replaced the switch with a new one about 5-8 years ago I found it hard to reach and I put new wiring at the same time. I checked yesterday visually and with my hand and found the connections and wires in good shape.

From what I can see the problem originate inside the transmission. This is why I want to bypass that switch.

Just wondering if somebody has done that modification and how it was done.

I could weld some metal on the old switch stem to make it say 1/8 inch longer but I might ruin it at the same time.

Thanks for your input and have a good day.
