As long as the cable is turning in the forward direction, the clutch slips, and nothing happens. When the speedometer cable goes in the reverse direction, the clutch locks up, and the switch is made up. The thing I didn't like about them, is that you had to start backing up before the backup lights came on. You didn't give any warning to someone behind you, and also at night, you couldn't see where you were going before you started moving. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
