Mine's on too (5sp). One problem with it is that the white reverse lights won't function making it dangerous when backing up. It's pretty much just a switch on the bottom of the tranny that you probe, test, and swap. Haynes doesn't describe it too well but the FSM's cover it.

OKay I just did this little swap its actually really easy. Its like a 40 dollar part at nissan. Theres one bolt holding the switch on the bottom of the trannyit just pops out. I had to take it off in pieces cuz it was so stuck on there. But be prepared when that switch comes off about 4 litres of fluid comes with it, so either drain it before hand or have a container ready. Theres also a switch that comes with the packageit goes inside the tranny. This is the hard part. I tried to take it off iwth my fingers so I dropped it in the tranny. And when I tried to get it out I ended up pushing it back farther. but I covered the hole and put some gear oil in there and it came to a point where I fished it out. So I would take the little switch out with some pliers or something just so yu have a good grip on it. Then it goes all back together the way it came off. Just send me a private msg if you need more help.

If your reverse lights dont work and you tried changing the bulb then its becuase of this switch. Mine worked fine after.
