Backup Light Connection Afer Conversion

I'm converting from a Tremec to a C4 and can't figure out the backup light setup. There's got to be an easy way to do this, what am I missing? How do you handle the backup lights. BTW my shifter is an SCS Cheetah.

It would help to know what car this was as later model cars had a clutch interlock switch that prevented the car from starting until the clutch pedal was pushed in.

But, for all practical purposes, Ford uses 2 seperate cucuits to the starter neutral swtch whether on the steering column, floor shifter or transmission. One curcuit prevents the engine form starting unless in neutral or park and the other circuit turns the backup lights on and off.

Most after market shifters have a place to mount two micro switchs to control both of these functions. Sometimes the switches aren't include and have to be purchased seperately. You will need to find the wires that go to these circuits and extend them so they can be wired up to the switches on the shifter.

Oops sorry, it is a 1991 Mustang GT. Started life with an AOD, converted to a Tremec, and now the C4. I have the neutral interlock bypassed, but will have to revise for the new shifter. The new shifter is set up to handle a park/neutral interlock switch, but I don't see anything for backup lites. I'm thinking I will have to add a contact switch for reverse and was wondering if anyone had suggestions.

Looking at their website, doesn't appear to be any reverse light switch or kit for their shifters.

doing it in the dark is more fun anyway....[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]
