"Only the switch itself is the same, the mounting bracket and lever are different. The switch bracket clamps to the steering column, and the lever clamps around the shifter rod, and is adjusted so it only closes the switch when reverse is selected, as it can catch it in 2nd if out of adjustment. I'll see if I can get a good picture of the one in mine. It's slightly altered from how it is supposed to mount, as the column clamp had a bad weld on it. I had to attach it a little different, but the operation principle is the same."
Sounds like you need the clamp on actuator. All of the pics LONGBOX55 posted, regarding this issue, on Webshots, are all gone.
This
switch has a slot for an actuator piece. Looks like switch is a 1/2 rotary switch. LONGBOX seems to say switch is the same push button switch as the 4 speed. I have seen that switch. It is a momentary, push button, always open. That means the actuator is probably similar in looks. I.E. paddle arm or tab "stick out".
We don't know if the switch was working, and not now, or what? If it was, then the actuator has slipped or come loose on shift rod. If it was never there, that's odd to have a switch and never an actuator. So more info is needed.
