Subject:Backup Lights Always On, Stiff Shifter. "Selector shaft, modifications" P 35.60a

Hi all.

Just installed a WBX transmission in my '81. My shifter is sluggish or
stiff and back up lights now on all the time. (ign. on) Switch tested
ok with VOM when tranny on the bench. Tapped on housing containing
switch with a hammer. No change. Wiring ok. Found notes on P 35.60a
Bentley regarding selector shaft modifications.

IF my AB transmission has the older version shaft, is there something
this older design that would make the shifter sluggish? Or, is there
something inside the cover containing the back up light switch that if
broken, would make shifter sluggish?

Pulling my hair out,

Neil.
