5 speed swap s13

[ogbryce]

i'm in the middle of swapping my transmission, the couple of guides i have read all include cutting wires and/or running a set of wires to the ECU. If i'm also swapping in a 5 sp ecu and 5sp lower harness am i not able to just run the harness to the tranny and switch the ecu without cutting or jumping anything?

correct.

if your using the full 5-speed lower harness, AND using a 5-speed ECU, it will not be looking for any shift interlock, or any auto trans- switches.
