This is a used switch removed from a 1949 Ford transmission. Old, a bit crusty but usable. Look carefully at the photos.
Brand:Borg Warner overdrive system for Ford Warranty:Yes Surface Finish:older, crusty, usable tests good. Country/Region of Manufacture:United States

This is a lockout switch for a 1949 or 1950 Ford transmission with the overdrive.   It mechanically "locks out the transmission from going into reverse when the overdrive is engaged.   Book sez the '51s didn't have it so I'm not sure how they prevented the issue.

The wires are still there, marked "to governor" and to "kickdown switch".  These are the old, original wires--you will want to upgrade them.

From Grampa's garage.  He  had lots of old car parts that we found after he died and we are trying to find a home for them.  Hopefully someone can still use them.

This switch tests good in the way that it conducts continuity until the button is pressed when it breaks continuity.  

Good luck with your bidding, thanks for looking and considering...
