S13 Auto to manual Swap! YAY!

[forkboy07]

Hey guys, got some questions for you to shoot at.I am currently swapping out an auto trans for a manual trans, in my s13 240sx 1991.

I have run into a few problems, and have questions to see what you guys did to solve them.Firstly, the cooling lines from the auto transmission go to the radiator, where, when i tried to take them off, i had coolant leaking out. What did you guys do to stop the hole?

Secondly, i was wondering what the switches are on the clutch? do they do anything useful? or are they just a decoration? With that in mind, are they supposed to connect to something?

Finally, i need a clearing up on the wiring. I just have my old auto transmission wiring, and so if anybody has some clear diagrams or pics to help out, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I dunno if you get them in your area but there is a magazine called project car. They make one issue every 2 months they sell them at wal-mart etc. It has a step by step with pictures for everything in it. It should still be on the stands. I was gonna try doing this one myself but lack of room and good weather I decided to send mine to a shop.

the coolings lines from the radiator doesnt really matter. you can just plug it with a hose and clamps or even route a hose from the feeding side to returning. i dont know what you are talking about the clutch and it should be pretty easy to find a diagram for the wiring for the neutral safety and reverse.
