You need to extend these wires from the engine wiring harness so that they will reach the backup light switch on the manual transmission. If I'm reading the TEWD correctly, the plug on the wiring harness that feeds the signal to the transmission should be connector "A" (located at the bottom of the page linked). The plug that receives the signal from the transmission on your wiring harness is connector "B". The yellow wire is pin 5 in connector A (referred to as A5), red/black wire is B1.

On your manual transmission is a small 2-pin connector (labeled as "C" on the TEWD). You want to connect A5 with C2, and B1 with C1. Once again, the TEWD shows which pin is which at the bottom of the linked page.

After doing this, your backup lights should work as designed.




Now I just hope all that makes sense lol

this all makes perfect sense haha

quick question..
i know my rpms are gonna be all messed up but.. how will my gas mileage be affected?
will it get worse? seems like gas is being killed haha

also, on the freeway i normally would cruise at 80mph but my car is going 80mph @3500 rpms so now i cruise at 75mph @3000 rpms
is that normal for these cars.?
again i know the rpms will be off... and if thats way off how can i correct it?

your shifter bushings may just be worn out, or non existant.
check out on celicasupra.com or at a toyota dealer for new bushings

Yeah, those are the ones that you needed to get for that tranny and your shifter.

Here are the Toyota part numbers:

Shift lever seat bushing:
33505-35020

Shift lever bushing:
33548-31010

You can buy them direct from Toyota, or there are a number of websites you can buy genuine parts for less, such as toyotapartscheap.com

That sounds right for a N/A 5 speed. That's about where mine is at anyway
