Default reverse lights staying on

okay this is the deal, i changed the clutch in my 93 civic hatch CX,D15B8 , evertyhing went smoothly, but after connecting everything back up, the reverse lights are staying on. but i dont know where the swtich is, an/or which connections off the transmission allow voltage flow to the reverse lights. either the reverse switch itself is stuck, or a connection has bent prongs thats grounding itself out to provide a constant circuit, which is leaving the lights on... i dont know much about hondas so if someone can come up witha diagram or something would help, or even instructions on finding the problem... this is my winter beater, lol and i get told people think im a plow from behind untill theyget up to melol. because plows here in canada have white lights facing rearward all the time, like headlights so they can see what they are doing before they have to back up yada yada.. lol

also i dont know the potential of this motor but at 70hp and 83 ft/lbs lol (mre torque than horsepower LOL) this small car is pretty stupid quick, my friend gave me a (ractive) intake from his car that hesold, so i went ahead and put iton my car, i just took off the air box and bolted it to the stock intake piping, im sceptical on actual noticable power increase on a highflow filter, but i noticed a huge increase in grunt in this small beast. and she will top out at 110km/h in 2nd gear lol my mustang cant even accomplish that. 6500RPM redline, with no tach, i was like whenis this thing gonna stop accelerating lol andyeah it got to 110 pretty fast, i now wanna know what a B16 would be like, or even throwing a turbo on my D15B8, the internals should be able to handle 5-8 lbs?? would anyone know?
