Where is the reverse senor switch? I read on another forum that if the c-clip from the drive axle stays inside the housing that you might get lucky and retrieve it thru the rev. Sensor location. Any true to that?

Thanks in advance
Kevin

You stating that you have an automatic tranny ?
reverse switch is part of the neutral safety switch ,
but in case you have M/T then the reverse switch located on the right side transaxle case
on M/T tranny you can remove speedometer pinoin
to get to the inside (right side top of axle)

Yes it is an automatic. Where is the neutral safety switch located and do you think I can retrieve the clip thru the hole?

Neutral safety switch is located at the tranny under the shifter cable and no access point to the tranny under it
I had set you a picture of it
what about the speedometer pinion
over the right axle
