Search! It's a very extensive job to perform, and if you were unable to search for any answers, chances are you'll be lost on a rewire.

what "wiring" are you meaning? When I performed the swap on my car, I used the auto harness. i swapped the speed sensor from tail of the transmission into the manual transmission (the manual sensor had the connector built into it, the auto had wires...). if you haven't already gotten the PDF for the wiring diagrams of the car, PM me and i'll email you it and then you can find the back up lights sensor and where to connect it.

everything else from the auto trans I just zip tied up out of the way.

if any other questions/problems, feel free to PM me

I was able to bridge the inhibator switch, and drive away with the auto computer still in place.

I assume he is referring to the lock out switch that is built in for the auto wiring harness to prevent the car from starting unless it is in park. I have never tried to do it this way with a stock auto ecu but assume it would work.

If you have a PFC the job is super easy, you just need one piece of wire about 2" long to connect two terminals on one of the connectors on the Auto Harness, then wire in reverse lights if you want them.

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/so-how-many-people-have-done-auto-manual-swap-258966/ Just follow that link and it is super easy. Worked like a charm for my personal car.

I did the swap - its not hard!

Keep your manual harness, you'll need the transmission harness from it.
After that, its all down hill using the Factory Service Manual / FSM;
