Anybody know the trick for removing the neutral safety switch on a 123? I've got an intermittent fuse-blower on shifting into reverse, and I suspect the switch. I'd like to take it off and examine it. If it's toast I suppose I'll get a new one, but I'd rather not kill it trying to get it off. But it's _real_ tight under there! Jim As I recall, it is two small capscrews (10mm socket) that hold it on. Very carefully lift the safety clip on the wire connector or it will break off and you will need a tie rap. after removing the two screws the whole switch should just slide off the shifting shaft. the switch mounting holes are slotted for some adjustment of the neutral position so mark it before you move it. Fairly easy to get it back right though. I am betting you can clean it and get it working again. They are pretty robust but in a VERY dirty location. You may have to remove the trans mount and push the trans over just a bit to give yourself some working room. My 116 has plenty of room.
