Thanks Earl/Bob =E2=80=93 I was hoping the switch would be adjustable. =
I will find time to get the g=E2=80=99box cover off (ugh!) and adjust =
it. I have another g=E2=80=99box, so if that does not work I can =
=E2=80=9Cswitch=E2=80=9D some parts =F0=9F=98=8A.

Hi Marek. Had the same thing happen to me years ago on my BJ8. Same =
design different arrangement on the centre shifts as on the side shifts =
=E2=80=93 same switch part# for all. Bob is right =E2=80=93 the switch =
setting (not a tapered thread) is done with the fibre washer as a shim. =
The ball end activator on the switch wears with mileage =E2=80=93 the =
switch has to be moved a bit inward to make up for the wear. A thinner =
washer (or maybe even no washer) will do the trick. As Bob says, just =
don=E2=80=99t jam it.

The switch may be pipe thread, but you set its depth with shims (which =
are just fiber washers), part# 134 in this diagram:
https://mossmotors.com/external-gearbox-4-speed-side-shift
The lever on the shift rod (#94) bumps the switch; it only presses =
against the switch, closing its contacts, in 3rd & 4th. Pushing the =
lever to the right pushes the shift rod to the left into the switch. If =
you have a 'shim' under the switch, removing it, or putting a thinner =
one in, should solve the problem (the tip of the switch has limited =
travel, you don't want to jam it into the switch). If not, you'll need a =
new switch (contacts worn, maybe). Least likely, but not impossible, is =
a worn shift rod (they're brass).

Hi listers, I am finding that my BT7 (i.e. sideshifter) is dropping out =
of overdrive if I wiggle the shift lever to the left. This is without =
doubt opening the contact in the gearbox switch that only permits the =
O/D to operate in 3rd and 4th thus causing the O/D to disengage. =
Pushing the lever to the right re-engages it. I do not recall any =
adjustment on the switch to screw it in further, in fact I think it is a =
pipe thread and will only go in so far. I am not sure what part of the =
shift lever actually bears on the end of the switch to engage it. The =
workshop manual is not much help in figuring it out. Is it the switch =
or is it what ever it bears on when in 3rd or 4th? I have not had the =
g=E2=80=99box cover off to look at it yet but thought I=E2=80=99d ask =
the list if anyone had encountered this. =20
