hey yall...i need t56 trnny swap help

I have a 88 GTA 5 speed 305 tpi

I just put in a built by me 383 sbc I built over the winter
and I got a used t56 swap from a 1995 lt1 trans am
its in the car working

i have no reverse lights
i cant find the connecter

ok so the vss is hooked up working mint

the i took apart my reverse lock out thing to be able to get in into reverse

and i just need to find the sensor that's runs the reverse light switch

i got under it again today

there is a sensor / switch on the driverside

its huge

on my t5 is small like a deep socket

is it my skip shift thing???

i tried to hook it up to that and my reverse lights didn't work?
is there another thing or is that part broken

does anyone have a pic

Re: hey yall...i need t56 trnny swap help

If you have the T56 repair manual, look on Page 10. The reverse light switch is on the PASSENGER side of the car, at about the 3:00 position, just behind the bellhousing.

It's part #59 in the drawing on page 10.

Re: hey yall...i need t56 trnny swap help

It's been awhile since I installed my T5, but I suspect the confusion comes from (if I recall properly) the reverse light switch being on the DRIVER side of a T5, and it's on the PASSENGER side of a T56.

Hope that helps!
