reverse lights not activating in 73/m41 142GL 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be iadr on  Tue Feb 12 14:33 CST 2002 [RELATED]

On my 544 there is provision for reverse lights even though they don't come on the car. It's a little bakelite bulbous thing on the rear of the trans, activated by the actual internal motion of the reverse lay-shaft (as far as I can see).

My 142 has the overdrive and seems to have the reverse set switch up-top on the shift tower. What component is most likely to fail? Is there a replaceable switch?
It looks like the trans will have to be dropped to get at it. Is there another way?
