1987 Camaro Iroc 305 5speed manual. Can someone help me identify this part. I had a mechanic guy work on my car and he took this off. He said it was bad. I cant find the guy now. He said it was a speed sensor but when i look for speed sensor it looks alot diffrent. Any help would be appreciated. It goes on the transmission.

thanks

 

Anyone . need to fix asap. The auto parts store has no clue.

 

Looks like a reverse light switch. Jump the 2 wires to see if they come on.

 

looks like a sensor of some kind.

 

Can you get a couple of pics from different angles?

 

Someone else said is a backup light switch. Does anyone know what is specific purpouse is.? can this affect engine performence at all or just enables the back up light

 

It turns on the back up lights, the ball at the end slides smoothly when its put into reverse. The only thing it does is make or break electrical contact.

 

Hey thanks everyone . i dont think the guy who took it off had a clue of what he was doing.

thanks again
