    also check a napa parts store and or another parts store they might have what you need (I say napa because my dad owns one and has a large selection of switches) plus most of there switches are made for the trucking and farming industries

    atf or diesel fuel/ kerosene should work just fine for a flush, but ive also read of ppl useing a pressure washer to get crud and gunk out of the gearboxes as for the preferred lube a light machine oil or motor oil is what i would use

    i might have to vent one with my .223 :) but then again i would pry use the water method and cut it open while its full of water. i also agree with glenn about having a pro do it for me better safe than sorry
