    5 speed swappers...help

    Quick question...any of you have the reverse lights come on when you put the car in reverse? I just got my reverse sensor from Bronxbomr (Thanx Al) and I am pretty sure I know where on the trans the thing goes. My problem is the connector that clicks in the back....I dont seem to have the right one or one at all. Anyone have any pics? Or do I have to swap the one from the auto (splice wires) and put on a 5 spd connector?

    The reverse sensors are a different length if I recall correctly but make sure you spliced the correct wires in the harness first.

    Youll surely have to splice the wires... If i call correctly in a thread i read from somewhere it said the green and white wire were the ones.. IDK it will take a very long time to search for that too.

    If it's similar to the 8G 5 speed swap, you're gonna have to splice some wires. I used some old connectors I had sitting around and spliced one end into the car harness, and the other to the reverse solenoid, so that I could easily unplug it whenever needed

    After a few months of driving my 7g around I found out my brake lights came on every time I hit the clutch pedal or the brakes. Be sure to check that out too.

    you can splice or you can get some spade connectors for each wire so it can be unplugged in a pinch
