************************************
On mine (Spitfire/GT6 three rail) it is actuated by the shifter rail
itself, the one in the top cover held on by four studs/nuts. It protrudes
beyond the casing and a cast detent is secured to the shaft with a roll
pin. The detent area is only in the neutral and 1-2 shift gate positions.
In the 3-4 gate position the switch is activated. Does that help any? I'm
not sure about the single rail with overdrive, but I have one at home and
will check it out if I remember tonight to see if in fact it stays actuated
in the 3-4 gate position also. The switch is mounted directly on the top
cover (facing down) of that tranny and not on a bracket ( facing sideways
against the detent) secured to the top cover as in the three rail.
