It's pretty easy, drill and tap the top cover on the boss where the reverse 
light switch would go and buy an OD isolator switch. The shift fork is 
already cast to turn the switch on and off.

I think the instructions are in the Factory service manual. Need the correct 
tap and drill. I believe the tap is metric. If you need more info write to 
me and I'll try to drill it down further.

I've done it.

Iâ??ve got the transmission on the floor of my shop, and am wondering if I 
should take this opportunity to install a reverse lamp switch. How big a 
deal is the retrofit?

Thanks.
