Passenger side backup light always on

I just finished changing my clutch. I changed the switch for the backup light the screws into the back of the transmission.

Now the passenger side backup light is always on.

Thoughts?

My first thought is your driver side back up light is not working maybe a bad bulb.

My next thought is I believe the back up light switch is closed when the plunger is not pushed in. I would unplug the electrical connector and see if the back up light goes out.

Start with what you changed recently. Was the previous switch working? Change back to it.
