 They had to bring the starter wire through the shifter, so they did the
 backup lights along with it.
 The rest of the wire harness is still the same as the manual trans. >>


And on a MT car, the starter wire runs along the tunnel much like the AT cars 
do. This means those 2 harnesses while similar are still very different in 
length and shape. 

You do have the switch set up correctly though, as this is how my wife's AT 
carbed car is set up. I hope this helps.
