Type 9 reverse switch
Hi Guys,
I've got a 5 speed type 9 in my striker.
I have just come to the realisation that i may not have a reverse switch in the gearbox.
Does anyone have a good photo of where this switch goes on the gearbox as i'm trying to work out if i'm going to need to drop the whole
bloody thing back out of the car!
Cheers,
Andy

hi andy,,
ive just fitted a new switch in my type 9wich is in my tiger,, if you can get the car up enough to get under,
the switch is located directly under the gear stick ,,, if you get under the car the switch is located on the drivers side at the top of the
alloy housing and you should see a approx 19mm nut,, or if its missin put your finger up there and you will soon feel where it should be its simple
to get to ,, hope this helps you out !!!!

hi andy ,,
yes mate the switch is on the drivers side at the top of the housing under where the gear stick is ,, the hole should be about the
same size as a penny if its not there

View from above. Black sleeve below gear stick.
Might have a spare if you want one.

I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

Ahhhh nice one!
I've been looking all round the bottom/sides.
I'll have a check tonight hopefully but if it is missing i might have to take you up on the spare!

Type 9 reverse switch
You don't need to use the gearbox switch. IVA manual says ".......or be fitted with a telltale warning device" so you could just
fit an illuminated switch.

If you haven't got a switch I have got one I'm not using cause it won't fit in my chassis. You can have it if you need it.
