It's on the side of the gearbox. Left hand side, looking from the back, near the drive shaft.


What a long strange trip it's been

Re: reverse light switch
You might also want to check the connectors to the switch when you change it. I had an annoying intermittent problem with my reversing lights which was cured completely when I remade the connections - the switch was fine. Its also wiring that's 25+ years old and getting pretty brittle.
