Hi F,
It's really pretty easy.
The bracket and switch attach to the driver's side cover on the transmission.
It uses two of the cover's regular bolts. The last one back on the bottom row, and the first one above it.
The linkage attaches to the tiny hole in the reverse lever with a tiny clip.
It's shown in the AIM in UPC 12, Sheet C 3.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Yes it will work providing you use the factory reverse lever with the hole in it.
