My reverse lights will only come on and stay on if I push hard on the gear stick when I'm reversing. If I'm not pushing back hard on the gear lever the lights will turn off. I have looked into how to fix but I'm not sure how to find the switch. I am also not sure if its the switch or a problem further up closer to the gear lever

the switch is on the transmission. it cold be a cable problem or out of adjustment. see pic adjustment has to be made in 4th gear at shifter.
