That's a decent block diagram Paul but the diagrams on page AT-38 and AT-39 are a little more complete and show wire colors.
Well if thats the case, wouldnt simply removing the TCU do the same thing?
Andy, basically everything for the 97+ car would need to be different. You'd need to make your own VH41 adapter plate (bolt pattern is different), im sure the pedal arrangement and shifter position might be similar, but its a shot in the dark.. You're also going to have a TON more issues (so much that it may not even make it worth it?) with the ECU being OBDII.. you cant fall back on the info for people with OBDII cars with MT's offered in them because all they do is wire things up and switch the ECU's to a MT version.. cant do that on a Y33 because never offered it and also you cant reprogram the ECU at all.
In my case, the hard part was the mechanics about it.. In the Y33 case, the electronics are almost going to be insurmountable.
Youll notice on picture (7?) that im using the stock AT crossmember with those brackets to adapt it.. So, im using the stock AT tranny mount (insulator) that you speak of...
