     What Alfa are you talking about?  You should always include that 
information when asking for technical assistance.
       On the later model spiders, yes the back up switch is inside the 
bellhousing.  You have to remove the transmission to fix them.  However, I have 
never had one go bad.  
       Are you sure it is the switch?  There are two wires that come out of 
the bellhousing.  They have snap plugs a couple of feet from where they come 
out of the bellhousing.  Use an ohmmeter or some type of continuity test device 
to check if the switch is working as someone else shifts into and out of 
reverse.
       If it is the switch, do you really need back up lights bad enough to 
pull the transmission?
