I have a 71 Barracuda with a 6.1 Hemi and T56 Tremec 6 speed Manual gearbox. Can anyone assist with the Reverse lock out sensor and other connections from the gearbox to ??? wiring diagram. I have Dakota gauges, Megasqirt Gold 3 ECU with GPS speed sensor.

on the T-56 family you usually have a
1) Reverse light switch - kinda self explanatory, one wire gets 12v, the other wire runs to the reverse lights to power them when the switch is triggered

2) Neutral Safety Switch - Can bypass it if you're running the factory clutch switch on the pedals or you can wire it in lieu of the factory switch - would just be a one wire ground to one side and a wire up to the starter relay ground terminal

3) Reverse lockout - You can wire it in parallel with your brake light switch (will activate it when you brake) or you can simply leave it disconnected. It is a little spring so make it easier to get into reverse but you can shift to reverse without it being activated without much effort.

4) Skip Shift solenoid - F*CK this thing... don't need it - don't wire it. Dumb thing
