I read the install write up and searched.I need to know how to wire in the manual and what you need and what you don't need. So far i have put the clutch petal in and master cylinder. As for the wiring i need to know does everything plug in or do you need to move some of the connections. I'm doing the swap Sunday. I have the manual transmission with all the sensors do i need a wiring harness or can i make the auto one work? thanks. Nick

I would get a service manual first of all. You will need the transmission, wiring for the transmission switches, clutch slave, clutch line, transmission and mount of cousre. Line that goes to the clutch master, brake pedal for 5-speeds and maybe the ecu for a 5-speed.

i have everything you mentioned. I just don't know what wiring is needed. i pulled the transmission from the junkyard and just unclipped the sensors, they are still installed on the transmission. What is involved in the wiring, thats all i need to know. Thanks. Nick

wiring isn't hard to do for the auto to manual.

transmission switches are weak.

all you need is one wire from your speed sensor to your gauge cluster, and that's it.

Hell, I pulled out my entire gauge cluster and made one myself with EGT, Fuel Pressure, and a Tach...that's it. Don't plan on installing a speedo either...I mean...do you really need it?
