Installing The Magnetic Switch and Magnet
I installed the magnetic switch horizontally under the shift arm. It is positioned so
that the magnet will be perpendicular to the switch when the shifter is in neutral.
When in gear, the magnet will be away from the switch and the switch will be
open circuited. I used clear RTV to hold the switch and allowed it to set
overnight
I found that the magnet needs to be installed very low on the shift arm. I have
Bob Stirling’s 3S short shifter which has a flat side suitable for mounting the
magnet. At first I intended to use only a tie wrap, but the magnet was wiggling
out of position so I secured it with RTV as well. The tie wrap is touching the post
that attaches the shift linkage. I also notched the plastic of the magnet so the tie
wrap would bite into the magnet and keep it from slipping.
