Ok guys just need to clear some things up, Ive started the swap and everything has gone fine so far. Im getting ready to put in the transmission tomorrow but I have some questions. Sorry if this has been covered, may be I am not searching right or its just such an obvious answer that no discussion is required... but once I put in the transmission, what do I do with the three sensors on the manual transmission, the write up says, make sure they are connected but the sensors I have on the transmission are cut so hence have no plug and the auto sensors dont seem interchangeable with the exception of the speed sensor. Also can someone please dumb down this whole wiring needed to start the car, make park lights and reverse lights work...again sorry if this has been covered... but i am lost with the wiring Thanks again!

The reverse wires just go to a switch, when you put in in reverse the switch closes and lets power flow to the lights. You can put the trans in reverse and ohm it out, then test it not in reverse. Short in reverse, open when not.

The other sensor was NSS inhibit, that goes to the switch on the clutch or just connect them but dont start it in gear.
