Randy, thanks for the info. It would be wonderful if I could get my fingers o=
nto the 3rd/4th switch from below to see if it has unscrewed itself a tiny a=
mount somehow.

Same for verifying the PRESENCE of the 2nd gear switch. =20

Thought to DO anything about it seems as if it will require pulling the inte=
rior. =20

I am assuming the shop that did the removal and install will be willing to m=
ake this right.   And the shop that did the transmission could deal with the=
  control top, I suppose maybe without the need to pull the whole transmissi=
on?? =20
