reverse lights after 5spd d/r swap

[Tin Soldier]

Anyone know how to wire up the reverse lights after an auto to 5spd d/r swap?

I figured it out in about 15 minutes. I cut the wires on the old plug to the tranny and used a continuity tester to find the two you need to form the circuit. You do this by leaving the key turned on and putting the car in reverse (no motor running, please). Once you know which two are the circuit, it's jst a matter of plugging them into the new plug on the tranny until you get reverse lights to light up. If you use a systematic approach, you'll find which two are the circuit. After that, you can splice in the old receiver plug on the new tranny. It's not all that difficult.
