Peter---I have put off answering your post, trying to remember if I did
anything to seal the reverse lamp switch. (I had my cover off a few year
ago to replace the leaking O-rings). I looked over some notes sent to me
by fellow lister Jim Davis. Nothing here about the switch sealing. I
don't think I did anything special here, but I do have a habit of using
Teflon tape on a lot of threads, so I may have done this from habit and
don't recall.

You can take this opportunity to smear the gear shifting socket and its
spring-loaded plate with wheel bearing grease, while the cover is off.
This goes a long way in keeping the shifter from rattling.
