Yow what's good people? I finally got my hands on a 1993 240sx with a knockin bottom end, I got it for 500 dollars, rebuilt the engine and while I was at it decided to do a transmission swap....... all good right ? Not really..... c, I rebuilt the engine and droped it in, put in the clutch pedal assembley, brake pedal, clutch hard line, that box and new slave cylinder and transmission. Now my problem is the car won't start at all ! Won't even turn over, I have only one line from the transmission pluged into the car, it's a thin line with maybe a green clip but that shouldn't have anything to do with it starting, the thing is that all I read from that site I got the transmission stuff from was, "there are two female plugs that need to be jumped or the car won't start at all!" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT DOING FOR ME WHEN THERE'S ATLEAST 4 FEMALE FITTINGS AND 12 WIRES THAT IT COULD BE? ! That's why i'm asking someone who has done this to tell me what I need to do to give life to my monster . I hooked the Automatic shift lock switch back up to the car near the clutch pedal (the green box) that didn't work either, there's one wire near the shifter that has power when the key is on....... that's it...... i can't find anything else, please help .

im gonna look for the pic, but there is a big plug that has 2 thick wires that runs from under your enginebay fusebox to your transmission, you need to cut and splice those together. i will look for the pic in a minute..
