During hard wiring a tail light assembly I became aware the reverse lights are out.
I am in the process of isolating the failure, but am perplexed by the location of the reverse light switch.

I can just see the reverse light switch wires sticking out over the top of the manual transmission through the space between the transmission and hump in the floor.

Maybe because I was jammed under the car looking for it, but I doubt my hand will fit through the space. So somehow working a wrench is evading me.

All my searches are turning up auto transmission switch repairs.
I did read one post that mentioned dropping the transmission (!?). That seems extreme.

What is the recommended way to access the reverse light switch?
I suspect I am missing something basic and would appreciate someone clueing me in.
