Default How To Remove Inhibitor Switch

How do you remove the inhibitor switch on the AU Transmissions? I can get the 2 wiring plugs off and the 2 8mm bolts.

But can work out how to get the switch itself off.

Any suggestions? I dont want to break it..

They often rust on, if the bolts are out it slides off
I have had to smash them off in the past, clean up and regrease the shaft when replacing.

Have moved this thread to the AU Falcon area as it relates to this club more that OzECruisers.

When you put a new switch on make sure the shaft is smooth & rust free. I did mine once and putting the new switch on I pushed the shaft inside the gearbox a tiny bit. result was I only had reverse, no drive

I had to break the inhibitor switch off.. it was rusted like all to the shaft.. so i grabbed a screw driver and used that to clean up the shaft (gently) then i got sand paper and sanded it back a few times till the new switch slide on just nice..

Hopefully this fixes the problem..

I will report back..

Thanks for every ones help
