Under the shift tunnel are 2 connectors that are disconnected. Am looking on the transmission for the backup light switch. Please help. The trans is out as well as the engine and differential.

Re: 65 monza 4 speed back up light switch.
It is a long switch that hangs straight out the bottom. Easily damaged. The three speed used a switch in the tunnel activated by the shift tube. Clark's sells kits to use the three speed switch and they also sell a reproduction of the four speed switch.

Re: 65 monza 4 speed back up light switch.
Im gonna try and use the switch located in the trans, as i have a replacement used 4 speed but i want to put a new switch in there.
As long i i have it out, we have engine, trans and diff removed for what started as a shifter linkage issue.

Re: 65 monza 4 speed back up light switch.
I believe that none of the 3-speed transmissions had a mounting location on the transmission for the backup light switch. On the 3 speed, a switch was mounted in the tunnel next to the shift tube. Clark's Corvair Parts also markets this switch mount "Fix-It Kit" for use in 4-speeds as an option to the 4-speed mount, which is somewhat vulnerable to physical damage.
These illustrations may help. The 4-speed manual transmission is the only one with a switch on the transmission. The 3-speed manual switch is inside the tunnel, on the shift linkage, and the Powerglide automatic is behind the instrument panel.

1156 bulbs only belong in the backup light sockets. The two locking pins in the 1157 bulb are positioned at different heights on the side of the bayonet base/lamp socket, to ensure that they are properly inserted.
These illustrations may help. The 4-speed manual transmission is the only one with a switch on the transmission. The 3-speed manual switch is inside the tunnel, on the shift linkage, and the Powerglide automatic is behind the instrument panel.

Re: 65 monza 4 speed back up light switch.
The '60-'65 3 speed transmission had no switch so the switch was on the shift tube in the tunnel. The '66-'69 3 speed switch was in the side of the transmission just like the '66-'69 4 speed.
