Reverse switch oil leak
Having a bad leak out the back of the reverse gear detent switch (I'm presuming that is what it is .
Anyway - it seems to be coming out of a small tear in the black plastic cap atv the back of it .
Is there some kind of gunk I can smear over it to seal it up or am I going to have to get a new one ?

hi.. i have issues with the reverse switch oil leak. swoope mentioned about the modified exhaust so here we go..
The Car:
04 - Rx-8 - 6 Speed Manual
BHR Coils
AutoExe Exhaust
No Cat (straight custom pipe)
9K Miles
The Problem:
Gear oil leaks from the reverse switch.
Solutions tried so far:
Rubber/silicon seal (lasted about 3 weeks)
Custom made leather gasket (lasted about 1 month)
Any suggestion(s) would be appreciated. Thanks.

YEP, as a replacement part they are Both the Same....Y612-17-640B, this Neutral Switch is used also as the Reverse Switch.

I can say after struggling with my neutral safety switch this afternoon and realizing that I was shipped the wrong switch. The head of the snesor is the same size, but the threaded portion on the neutral switch has a larger diameter than the reverse switch.
