Something I haven't messed with yet, though I really should. After I swapped my T5, I attached something from the 4spd onto the T5 of what I thought was the electrical connection for the reverse light. Right now mine does nothing when I go into reverse. I was hoping to fix that.

Does anyone know what I need to hook up where to get it to work? Sorry for the lacking of details, but it's been a while since I did the swap so I can't remember exactly what was done.

I'll try to do some searching under the car again soon to give more details if it's needed. Thanks for the help.

did you use a t5 electrical harness or the same one that was hooked up on the 4 spd?

i may need a t5 harness if it's not the 4spd one. i only got the transmission, no wiring stuff.
