As topic, i am wondering what this little thing here is for?i am suspecting it has something to do with the automatic, since my car has been converted from AT > Manuel...

Any suggestions?

Yup, it's just a resistor for the automatic transmission. One of the old mods was to unplug that thing. It makes the transmission shift a lot harder.

If you can throw it ON the sea, get it to stay, and take a pic. I'll give you a dollar.
