Hi All, We have a customers 78 Trans Am in the shop,that the reverse light are not working. It is a standard transmission,and the customer states it was not converted from an automatic. There is an interlock I think it's called in the column, and the reverse light switch is on the column,with only 2 wires going to it. And under the hood,there is a "lever" coming off of the column interlock, but it is not connected to anything. So of course,putting the trans. in reverse,does not move the interlock in the column. Could someone have removed this rod ,or what ever moves the interlock. I don't seem to see anything on the shifter where it would hook up, but I may have missed it. Does anyone know what this "rod" is called,and what it looks like, and would I still be able to get it from the dealer? I am in the process on installing a lighted toggle switch for the reverse light to pass State inspection,but would rather have them working automatically with the shifter. Thank, Tony
