Default TR6060 swap help - Reverse lights

Wrapping up a 09 Z06 "export" transmission and 07 Z06 differential swap in my 99 FRC but this one I am stuck on. After a few hours on google I can't come up with a pigtail or confirmation of the below, so forum help is greatly appreciated.

To those of you that have completed the swap, what did you do for your reverse lights? Does the T56 reverse light switch fit in the TR6060 transmission? Did you order a new pigtail to adapt the C5 wiring to the TR6060 sensor?

I have a new export TR6060 and that is the last thing on the conversion side to do. Sold my old transmission so I can't just pull switches and compare. I believe the top of the 2 sensors is the one I want for reverse lights on the passenger side, lower sensor on the driver side is fluid temp.

Thank you for your input.

-Josh

I pulled the one out of the tr6060 and it looks like a T56 one on the end, just a different plug.
Thus I ordered a T56 replacement switch. Hope it fits otherwise back to amazon it goes. Worth the $20 guess.

I used a c6 pigtail and wired that into my harness... my friend had a spare c6 harness so I just cut the pigtail off, you might check some of the vendors that part cars out or a place like efi connection for the right pigtail

New sensor went right in (T56 sensor in TR6060 trans).
Plunger depth measured the same. Of course it plugs in as it's designed for my car.
Will post if reverse lights work upon testing later this week.
$12 fix potentially.

Sorry all. I'll confirm tonight. Been very busy with work and personal stuff around the ranch so it has been slow going on the car. I finally started it up yesterday, will see if the reverse lights work today.

The T56 sensor does work in the TR6060. That's what I used on mine. Reverse lights work exactly the same as when I had the T56 installed
