Randall,

I was amazed to learn that the reverse lights can be engaged via a connection
on the transmission. My TR4 has overdrive, but it was added later by the
previous owner. My reverse lights are engaged manually via a knob on the dash!
Can you give me more info on this? Id love to get mine working properly.

Thanks.
