iirc rx8 6spd box has two connections, reverse and neutral. Does the rx7 trans have anything those? basically they are either shorted or open. So in a pinch you can probably ignore the neutral part of the harness (since you're replacing the EMS anyway) and wire the reverse directly to the taillight circuit.

anyway, i'm sure someone will chime in with all the deets (details)

good luck man!~
