Auto>Manual Swap Wiring

[aricanderson]

Does anyone know exactly how do the wiring from auto to an manual transmission. I need help on the wiring the reverse lights. Then I need to bypass the clutch interlock relay and the auto trans inhibitor relay.

thanks

Reverse Lights:

on your auto trany harness, goto the second plug down, and cross the black and green wires. now go and see if your reverse lights are on. If they are, Trace your wires from your M/T harness for the reverse switch and connect them to the harness side of those two wires.

Clutch interlock:
You don't have it. Rather, your car thinks the AT is not in 'P'. There is one connector from the A/T harness that is separate, and is 2 wires. You must connect these two wires, completing the circuit, and then your car will start.

Auto Trans inhibitor relay:
Huh? why do you need something from the A/T?

I'm still using the auto trans wiring harness not the manual and on previous threads it stated how to bypass by looping a wire then grounding another. I just need to know which wires.

there should be a two wire plug separate from the others on the AT harness. Cross those two wires, completing the circuit.

I just wanted to make sure that the electrical system was not causing my car to start.

Is there a way to hook up the old auto wires (where the old auto shifter was) to the neutral sensor on the manual tranny?

Or is there a better (easier) way?

why?
just jumper the wires without hooking them up just don't start your car in gear

[s13conv]

Jump which wires? What about the reverse lights?

Grey plug behind the passenger side relay box in image it is where the two yellow connectors are

Thanks! What did you do for the reverse lights? :)
