Im going to be doing a 5spd swap soon and was wondering i need the 5spd lower harness or will the auto harness work fine?

If you used search you would know the answer to this. Use Zilvia's search or Google search and you will find complete in depth write ups on how to swap a 5spd. And no the lower auto harness will not work but nor will the 5spd without some work.

No, you NEED to use the auto lower harness.

The chassis are actually wired differently between the 5spd and auto cars which means you need to use the original harness.

Just don't use a lower harness at all.

I really dont think you are in the position to be trolling anyone with how many stupid questions you ask every day.

OP, as everyone else said, auto lower harness will work just fine. Im using one on my daily with no issues at all.

Ok cool thanks everyone for the help

To the OP, in all reality, I used a 5 speed lower harness and my Speedo doesn't work, Tail lights don't work. and I don't even know why my speedo doesn't work..

don't use it.

Your tail lights have nothing to do with a lower harness.

Ok I guess I should clarify. Lower auto harness will not work without chopping it up some if you want to keep all the sensors, so it becomes a Frankenstein and not a auto harness anymore.

I just finished one on my type x 180. All your going to need to wire up is the reverse lights and the speed sensor. Also dont forget the nuteral switch plug its under the fuse box.Make sure u keep your automatic speed sensor just in case. I forgot to keep it and I have the newer s13 so I used a red top tranny on a black top motor and my odometer reads twice the amount. Remember tho if u have a older car u shouldn't worry about this problem (mine is a 97).

wrxkid950 · 04-16-2013, 09:24 PM

what am i suppose to do with the neuteral switch plug anyway

Okidamage · 04-16-2013, 09:29 PM

Wire the two wires together I'm not sure what it is on the usdm but on a Jdm chassis is a white and black wire plug under the fuse box.
