Default Back up light switch replacement

Is it possible to replace the back up light switch, on a 6 speed, without dropping the cats and removing the torque tube cover?

I was able to reach mine to test it with an ohm meter.I think it wouldn't be a problem to R and R without removing anything.

Not only possible, it's not that difficult. It just unscrews and you screw in the new one and replug the connector.

Default Back up lights

Managed to get the car on a lift today. 1St. time I've been under it. Yup, easy change out on the switch. Back in business.
Thanks, all.
