George, just a thought, do you have the back-up switch screwed in far enough? The switch is threaded and has a lock nut on it. I know you can thread it in too far and it will actually prevent you from going into reverse, perhaps you have the opposite situation, where the detent is not pushing the plunger into the switch to make the contact.
