Question Reverse Light Switch Woes

The 915 transmission in my India red 1982 911SC was rebuilt exactly one year ago. Prior to the rebuild the reverse lights worked fine, however after the rebuild the reverse lights will not go on.

Today I tried to troubleshoot the problem and narrowed it down to the switch. The switch itself was taken off and tested with a multimeter and checked out fine, however when the switch is installed on the transmission, slid into reverse, and checked with a multimeter, it does not work. It feels as though the pin that is supposed to actuate the switch may not be coming out far enough to actuate the switch, or possibly the switch is not as sensitive as it used to be and the pin can't actuate it.

Should I replace the switch or could there be another solution?

Thanks for the help,
Ryan
