RE: [DML] Replacing Reverse Light Switch

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxxxxx>]

Greg,

Penetrating fluid will not adversely affect the transmission in any way. I
wouldn't suggest that you attempt to seal the boot. Although this sounds
like a good idea it falls in the same category as the epoxy frame coating.
There is a good chance that sometime in the future water will find its way
into the boot. The result would be accelerated corrosion of the switch
electrical connectors.

Subject: [DML] Replacing Reverse Light Switch




Hi All,

I'm in the process of replacing my reverse light switch on the transmission
and had a couple of questions.  I have never replaced this before so I'm
looking for some tips.  Mine seems to be rusted on there pretty good and I'm
having difficulty getting it off.  If I use a rust penetrator and let it sit
for awhile would it hurt anything on the transmission?  Also, there is a
rubber boot that fits over the switch - mine is in good condition
considering the age but should I also seal the boot with something else to
prevent water from getting in?  

Thanks!
Greg L.
