Re: Backup Light and Clutch Questions
Ray,
Thank you for the information about a backup light switch and suggestions about my clutch problem, including the term "shudder" that better describes what is happening. Dropping the transmission to make internal modifications is more work than I want to take on for a backup light, plus I always seem to have to do things over to make them work. But this does let me know that there is not an existing switch and gives me an idea about how to connect one that would be turned on by the shift lever (different than the old style floor switch). Looks aren't that important for what I am using the truck for, but I am tired of backing up blind at night.
I can also see how oil on the clutch would be a problem, but don't know how it would get there? The truck does not leak oil at the back of the engine or under the transmission. I will look for broken mounts, but a mechanic should have seen this at some point during the years that the shuddering has been a problem.
Thank you again for the help!
