What is it ?

I have a used SM 465 4 speed transmission. On the driver's side at the top and front is a fitting that screws into the case (mine is broken so I don't know what it should look like). It has a 7/8 hex nut and a fine thread. At the end of the fitting is a roller ball. The top looks as if it was plastic and it had a small spring in it. Does anyone have any idea what it is ? I thought it was the fitting for the speedometer cable.

I think its a reverse light switch. Or a TCS (trasmision controlled spark) switch.

That is where your reverse light switch goes. Should be a couple of wires hanging down off the firewall that goes to it?

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
