There should be a wire that plugs into your manual tranny for the reverse lights. I don't exactly remember where, it's been a while since i blew my 4th tranny h:

Glad to hear everything worked out good for you, BTW did you get a decent aftermarket clutch/flywheel when you did the swap?

Eh...should've gone with at least an ACT HDSS imo just so you wouldn't have to do it in the future. It's also a good idea to resurface your flywheel if you're gonna put the stock one back in.

I to would've made the stretch for a new aftermarket flywheel and clutch.

What tranny mount are you using? Place racing?

Nah, I think they just used a stock manual tranny mount. I'm not racing my car or anything like that. That's why I didn't get some performance flywheel or clutch. Oh...and he did resurface the flywheel.

If it's a 92-95 civic you need a custom mount. I believe on 96+ you can use the same mount.
