    Type 9 Reverse Switch Thread

    What is the thread on a Type 9 gearbox reverse switch? Took the old one to the hardware store to test it on their thread checker board but it only goes up to M12. I assume it is M14????? Just want to remove the switch and blank off the hole with a bolt. Don't want to use silicon.

    Is that the same thread as a Type E reverse switch?
    That's M14 fine, if you just want to plug that hole a 9/16 UNF bolt will probably fit good enough.

    Why do you need to blank off the hole? There's no oil back there

    You can cut the switches down and they have a hex inside them as they were prone to snapping
