To be more specific, the driver's switch is unique in that it has more mechanics than the rest of the switches. It does not operate on contacts alone, but has a "shaft" that engages the mechanism, especially the "auto" feature.

The driver's switch, unlike the other switches is housed in a "box" built into the plastic housing, which holds the pivot points for the switch itself. With age, the plastic "box" begins to crack, and it eventually falls apart if there is no intervention to shore it up. Once the plastic box is broken completely, you lose your pivot points and, unfortunately, you can't just "fix" the driver's switch. I hate this design, because, you end up having to replace the ENTIRE switchbank because of the loss of one switch. Ridiculous.

Try to intervene, before the thing breaks completely.
