Reverse bias

(1/2) > >>

lyndon:
I have tried to sort this out today. I am going into reverse far to easily, so I have replaced the Bias plate and springs and the reversing light switch (The old one was broken). Still it seems to easy to get into reverse instead of first. Could this be down to the plunger assembly on the left of the bais plate, the one that operates the reverse lights switch. When I was adjusting the new switch it seemed harder to get it wrong when the switch was perminantly on if you see what I mean. More pressure against the plunger assembly. I had to slacken it off to make sure the light went out correctly. I have left it as tight as I can, but its now easy to get it wrong again and before you say anything. Yes it is probably 95% the drivers fault. But still it shouldn't be that easy to get into reverse instead of first should it?

lyndon:
I take it this was a stupid question then !

this is a busy site but the grave yard shift on a sunday nite/monday mornin aint all that busy

lyndon:
I have ordered some new springs for the plunger assembly today. The place I ordered them from didn't know if you can change them. I am guessing by the very fact you can buy the springs that they are changable. Anybody ever done it and if so how difficult is it?.

Range Rover Blues:
I've never gone that far mate but I'd say the plunger IS the difference between how hard you push for 1st and for reverse.
