T-5 question for reverse gear - PICS UP!!!

Hello,
So I'm rebuilding my T5 out of a '92 LX 5.0 with the assistance of the Hanlon Motorsports repair video (which is quite good). However, I'm reinstalling the mechanism for reverse (the parts that attach to the reverse idler gear) and the spring is entirely different than shown on the video. The spring on the video goes over the post to the front of the tranny. The spring on mine attaches to the side of the tranny. So I've attached it in the way that looks right, but am unsure. Below are two photos of the spring, one when the tranny is in 'reverse' and the other when it is not.

Is this correct? If not... what is?

Thanks for the help!

Please, I'm pretty stuck here until I can get some help!

Are the two spring styles interchangeable (remove the style I have and get the other style?)

I read about some reverse variations in the 92 up models in a friend's T5 rebuild manual he put together. Maybe it might help some. Here it is:

http://www.pomoforacing.com/tech/T5Rebuild2002.pdf

He has info and pictures of it on pages 16 and 17.

Don't know if it will help you, but good luck! I may be doing mine soon also.
