not really wanting to know how to splice the wires by the shifter to accept the 5 speed trans, but rather wondering if anyone else has just removed the entire automatic harness, and then gone with the plug and play method. my reason for doing it this way is because i would like the cruise control function to work.
of course, this harness runs under the carpet 95% of the time so removing the carpet is more or less necessary.
i found that half of the harness runs next to the ecu, and there is one black/green wire that connects to a blue/red wire.
the other half runs under the tach. there is one plug (blue wire) that connects to a blue wire, the brown goes to the ground, a black wire that runs into the plugs to the left of the steering column (specifically the one with the red insert on the white socket, and a black yellow wire that connects to the black yellow wire plug on the harness. There are two relays on the harness, and those are just sitting there. as for the last two white plugs (one for the reverse and one for the neutral switch).
i'm at home now, and i can't remember how those are, but i know that one is capped off and the other connects to something.
will fill that little blank in tomorrow.
at the center near the shifter, there is obviously that large connector that is to the auto shifter, and then if you look a little further you will see the appropriate blue and green wire connector to plug right onto the manual trans.
i'll try to have some photos tomorrow as well to clear it all up if anyone doing a swap is interested.
luckily i have a manual car, and an auto car to do a comparison, but since i'm not done yet, i should have some more info as to the success rate once i'm done.
