Sorry to revisit this subject again, but I need to fix this.  Last
summer and about 5k miles ago, I installed a rebuilt transaxle.  Since
then my back-up lights would flash while in 4th gear and cruising.
Figuring it was something simple, I replaced the back-up light switch
for the grand total of $6.
    Well, still have the same problem.  It seems while rowing through
the gears with the ignition switch on will turn the lights on in first,
third and fourth gears.  What could be causing this?  Do I have the
switch in too tight?  Is the shift linkage out of whack or is there
something internally wrong with this tranny?  Or can it be a combo
effect?

Thanks,
