Re: [T3] auto netural switch



<x-flowed>VW certainly supplied the plastic with brass contacts as I have a bag - maybe the early ones though?

The neutral safety switch is a common problem with these AT cars. The
little brass shim sheet piece that's in there used to be a replacable
part, but I don't know if VW still has them. I've often thought that
I could make them from sheet stock, but I've never actually tried.

I have reinforced worn ones with a bit of soldered-on brass, however.
