Thanks Joel,

The car is about 70 miles away where I work on it on weekends, and get parts during the week.............so guess what I forgot to look at last time I was there!

in my case the switch leaked oil,  I removed the switch and soldered close and reinstalled it, besides your car is going to run better with advance in all the gears anyway
