Switching from 4 speed manual to a 5
Just picked up a 5 speed manual from an 80’ rx7 to swap out my 4 speed manual on my 79’. Going to order the exedy clutch kit from mazdatrix as well as the transmission mount, front and rear seal, and slave cylinder. The 5 speed doesn’t have a reverse switch on it, would my 4 speed transmission reverse switch work on the 5 speed transmission I picked up? Thanks!

I haven’t swapped anything yet but I’m guessing I would have to swap that from my 4speed to my 5speed? Not sure if they are interchangeable
