1998 big bear 350 neutral switch adjustment
this is my first post!
I just bought a bb 350 4wd for 800$. It needs a new rear axle as the old axle and ring gear splines are worn. I also noticed that when in neutral, the light wont come on unless you find the sweet spot by shimmying the lever. once the light is lit, it starts fine.
I have found a few post regarding this, but the answer seemed to be to bypass the switch or start it with the brake on. Is there an adjustment for this? i couldnt find anything about it in the service manual, and I would rather fix it correctly than just bypass it.
Anyone know of a good place to purchase aftermarket rear axles, oem axles are very spendy.
Can the axle and ring gear be welded together, or does the axle need to float in the gear?
thanks,
eric
