Tap the back-up lights' wire in the rear of the car. They also turn on when you finesse your car into reverse. The said "sensor" you seek is on top of the tranny in the tunnel, and the wire comes down a little near the clutch slave cylinder, in wire loom. Just tap the lights, it's a whole lot easier.

are you guys saying it's impossible to reach that wire? when i replaced the starter (i went the hard way, removing the entire intake) i had to unplug the wire and there's a 4 or 5 inch length of the wire with a connector for the reverse lights. really easy to reach, it wasn't too far from the side of the transmission.
