What is the shift actuator and gear indicator switch?

what year sled? sounds like the reverse shift actuator on 07-08 w/ mechanical reverse maybe? Thats what AC calls the servo motor w/ shift actuator on it that moves shift fork in DD case to put it in reverse. And there is a gear indicator switch of sorts that mounts up by shift fork i think it senses what position its in so actuator knows which way to shift and so it doesn't go into reverse while ridding. If they were disconnected i would guess symptoms would be no reverse?
just leave all that reverse stuff unhooked and it bypasses everything al.
just had to do this on the mtn last week, my m8 stock diamond drive took a dump on the first day last week, jeff overnighted me a 09 (without mechanical reverse) to me and i slapped that in and bypassed all the 07-08 reverse stuff just like the setup you have. works fine, prolly end up going to the bdx setup and shaving a few more lbs in the process.
on a side note, the 09 diamond drive is 6-8lbs lighter (hand scale, guessing) then the 07-08 diamond drive, but still not as light as the 05-06.
