This thread basically has anything and everything you need, except the wiring which needs to be displayed easier

Your right i still havent wired up my reverse lights i dont really understand how to. The threads covering it all have different colored wires then mine. Mine are all solid colors. I thought it was the green and black wires that you have to connect but it turns out nothing worked so idk. I'm kinda stuck. anyone want to help?

Yea that needs to get covered real good, the last thing i want is to get a ticket for no reverse lights, i might take it to my mechanic and show him the pic's and let him take a shot but i don't want to pay 40 buck's for somthing so cheap

In the console if you flip it over you will see that there is a set of screws for the second trim that was where the auto trim went, if you take that off you will have the space of a manual trim, but i never bothered to check if i can screw it on. To me it didn't look like it would work so i just left it

You are talking about RADIO TRIM. A retangular piece needs to be removed from radio trim and leather boot will go into that place.

Remove 96960 and attach 96935. That's the only difference between auto and manual transmission center consoles/radio trims.

yeah, just run the green and black wire from the plug to your reverse sensor..

and to see if they work just turn the ignition on, not the car, and put the car in reverse, and they should come on

Here you go.

This is where the plug is located at. If you don't see these plugs right next to fuse/relay box, it has to be somewhere around that area.

You see green and black wires? They go to reverse light switch. Green and black are not original colors, so don't bother.

Original colors are Green/Blue & Green/White. Green/Blue is constant boltage as you can see.

Here's the overall view. First, locate 2nd plug from the top that has 8 wires coming out. You can go from there. If still doesn't work, it's something else.

if your brake light stays on it might be the rubber thingy on the pedal.

Well here's the original post so id say it looks pretty legit and does cause corrosion by the sound of it.


as much as i hate to tell you but that permatex gasket maker you just put on your thermostat housing is corrosive. i go to gibson technical center and they just had a guy from permatex come and talk to us and he said never to buy the red high temp permatex products because they're corrosive. he said the only reason they still make it is "idiots still buy it" now im not calling you an idiot because if he never came to us i would have used the same s*** but just for future reference the stuff is s*** but so far man its lookin damn good

so here's the million-dollar question....is the swap worth it? We all know finding a clean m/t 240 usually isn't as easy nor the same price as finding an a/t 240
