this is correct.
an auto trans has the reverse light switch off the gear selecter, not mechanically off of the reverse gear inside the trans itself.
a manaul trans has a switch inside the trans that gets depressed whenever you put the car into reverse. you need to connect the gear selecter wire to the new in-trans reverse switch wire.
then you should be good to go.
have you corrected the wiring so you can pull your key out too?
