Exclamation Back-up sensor

ok, i have a really important question... i was trying to figure out where to check and refill my tranny oil in my 5 speed, well i am bouncing off the walls happy that i finally know where it is, but in the process (before i found it) i removed the back-up sensor in the front of the tranny and upon putting it back in my reverse lights stay in permenantly once i put it in reverse, even when i take it out of reverse... does anyone know how to fix this? or what's wrong? i didn't do anything to it but take it out and put it back in

You could try to take back out the sensor and look it over. maybe some how it got screwed up.

you know what, the other day when i had it on the lift i was going to try, but the second i loosened it, gear oil started coming out, sucked to cause if i had realized it was messed up while the tranny was still almost empty, i wouldn't have had that problem

might do it and have a friend stick his finger over the hole while i check the sensor out, lol

well, i do recommend the RL MT-90... cause our manuals call for 75w90 and that's what the mt 90 is... i got me a redline catalog so i can look at all of this junk when i get bored
