Backup lights out 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Brian Donnelly on  Mon Jan 29 08:11 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a 1980 242GT(with M45 overdrive manual transmission)that have back-up lights which have suddenly stopped working. I checked the fuse, bulbs, ground wire on the tail light assembly, and everything is OK. There is no voltage going to the light sockets. I guess I'm looking at replacing the backup switch in the transmission. I remember how much work taking the transmission out was when I did a clutch job a few years ago. Is there a way of replacing the switch without dropping the transmission?

Thanks for your help.
