F/R switch... There is a new design now. The switch will have an s on the side of the new ones. They put a piece of steel shaft in the center of the thumb lever. Should take care of most problems. They still wear out though. The drivers need to be a little conservative and they will last longer. I know the old ones could be slammed but those days are gone. I guess the new ones are for the driver in his place of zen.
