Is the problem now a physical space issue or a electrical logic problem? Is the switch you currently have, normally open cct or the normally closed cct. If the problem is now physical, are you able to turn up a threaded spacer [in alloy] to house the nose of the switch.

No the problem is my tunnel vision
In reverse neutral 1 2 3 4 all is good but then when you go for 5th the selector rod cannot move backwards because someone put a switch in the way. I think I will keep my bright ideas quiet in the future

what about a low-profile switch? That fits in the stock hole but doesn't stick out much?

56-series 5-speed has it here (pink arrow):


See Reverse Lamp Switch

Not much room in the tunnel

the main problem on my 60A 5 spd is the placement of the switch - it interferes with the right side trans mount in the tunnel which means you have to cut up the mount to make it fit. I recall a picture of Ernie's yellow 1200 mount cut apart to make his fit. I'd do the hole in the tunnel if the mount wasn't in the road, I'll be using a micro switch off the shifter

You can use a regular size switch too.

what about the suzuki switch?

does it fit the stock a series box? if so should fit my 63 series dogleg too.

is it worth it or just do a nige and hope it lasts.

Funny bugger!:)
If anyone can sort this problem out I believe it is weekend1000, stay tuned.

OK
after an epic failure with the 60A gearbox, here are some pics of the new switch working on the 60L dogleg box.
Its a shame it does not work for the std pattern 60A box as this is the one I prefer.
