Has anyone taken a gear position swich apart?

[lhead]

I did last night, inadventently. I was removing the tranmission and bumped it with a wrench. The back half came off with the wire and the front half remained on the trans.

I've heard there are small contacts/springs that will go flying when the two halves separate. I don't see any contacts or springs, so apparently they went flying.

What flown bits should I look for on the garage floor?

Thanks,

Charlie

You might want to start looking for a replacement incase you can't find them.
As for what they look like, I have no clue. Sorry.

Done. Ebay was my friend today.

I have taken the gear position switch apart. Two springs and two tiny brass cap/sliders should have shot out of it when you popped it open... I think there are two, One of my springs broke so I made a new one...cheap am I. I'm glad you have a replacement for it.
