Over on the big board, a guy posts this pic:

I see what looks like a neutral switch just beyond the front mount.

It appears to be just under the head of the reverse shift rod? I've never seen this before, is this something you've seen?

Re: Strange reverse switch
A neutral or backup light switch would be expected to have two terminals, and this has just one....looks like an oil pressure warning light switch.
It's a little hard to make out in the picture, but it looks like there are a couple of brass plugs in there too....I'm thinkin' someone drilled some holes in the nosecone to get in there to manipulate a jammed-up shift rail, and then used whatever was handy to plug them.

Nothing factory:looks like someone needed to plug a hole,man made or otherwise.
