Reverse Lamp switch in trans, help!
Ok, through rebuilding process, this little switch has been misplaced, i had it on the shaft but lost it throughout reinstallation and what not. Soo, i need to figure out where, if anywhere, i can pick it up. It is the Movable plate assembly, basically just a little switch that rocks back and forth on a ball bearing.
If anyone can help me out id greatly appreciate it.

Perhaps someone has a used one they could send you. It comes as a set along with the electrical portion when purchased at the dealer. But the little part you're needing is usually OK and doesn't need replacing, so maybe you can get lucky. If not, just buy the whole thing, you will probably need it soon anyhow.

i dont see why i would need the whole thing sometime soon when it worked just fine before...im selling the car and need to fix this so that its one less thing that is wrong with the car. i think i will get in touch with the dealer and see if they can help me out at all, otherwise ill post something in the wanted forum

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I think I may have 'lost' the 'Movable Plate Assembly'.
I just did a clutch, but now I get this code and I'm not sure where or what that 'Movable Plate Assembly' lives. Is it the white piece below?

Is it inside the trans behind where the R/N switch goes?
Thanks,
Alex

Oh crap. No, I'm not sure it didn't fall inside the tranny. I doubt it would have fit down the drain of my oil catch pan.
So, once I re-dump the tranny fluid and peek in the hole, it would be staring me in the face? I did glance in the hole where the R/N switch goes, but all I noticed was gears. Nothing white colored.
I'm guessing this could be causing my random times I can't get into certain gears.

Its pretty easy. Just some apply grease on the mating surface of the white plastic piece so as to hold it. Apply some oil or gear oil on the side if the R/N switch to lubricate or make it easy for it to slide smoothly. Insert the R/N switch in the hole by gently pushing it, then use a 10mm socket to bolt it.

If its not in the tranny, and not in the oil catch pan, then you might have lost it my friend. Since you said you were rebuilding the tyranny i'd look around and see if i can still find it. Chances are its somewhere on the ground. You could either find someone who has an extra one or just buy the whole thing from the dealer like I had to do. Cost me bout $35. If you want i could look around my garage, I think I probably still have an extra one left.

I can't believe my FSM nor Haynes manual didn't warn me this could happen.
I can only imagine what's been happening as the rocker switch bounces/floats around inside for the past few days.
