5 Speed Swap Wiring - Plug & play w/ cruise control !!!

[Chriskbmx]

the clutch switch is only for cruise though right? if i dont have cruise then i wont have a clutch switch?

[Chriskbmx]

also where are these wires at? all u guys say is what colors to what lol

Early models are the only ones with clutch switches as far as I can tell. There are two spots that you will find the connectors. First you have to disconnect the part by the shifter. The rest of the pictures show wires under the drivers side dash. There is one clump of connectors next to the steering column and one underneath the ecu module. Hope this helps.

also my car doesn't have cruise so does that mean that i don't have to deal with any clutch switch?

[Chriskbmx]

so is this the same weather it is a late model or early model? im doing it on my early model this weekend sense i am doing the swap. and all these wires that are being removed are under the dash?

This is a great thread. Did you guys pull the floor mat to get the auto harness out of the car?

Also, can anyone post pictures of where the black wire is in the car and where the clutch sensor attaches?

That is an option, but all you need to do is what the tutorial says and just plug in the reverse light harness after swapping the cables / plugs under the dashboard.

I had not found this, so I'd made my own thread in 2010: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=175330

This is awesome, took care of it no problem, takes longer to pull out the knee bolster and pedal cover/surround then to connect and disconnect the wires. It's also not necessary to remove the center console to get to that reverse plug, wasn't for me anyway

This mod is really easy once you spot all the wires that need to be disconnected. Really takes about 5 to 10 mins.

This works exactly as described. I undid my reverse light wiring as per Yoshi's's write-up and just simply reconnected the reverse-light harness to the reverse light plug. Voila
Instant Cruise Control goodness! :-D

Fuck, I must do this now!

I spliced my stuff, so it's all a matter of re-heating my soldering and pulling all my wires apart; then just electrical taping all the fresh wiring

I need to go to sleep already so I can work on this during daylight lol

lol I know how that is. I finished putting in my exhaust like an hour and a half ago. quite annoying to do when there is no light.
