    Are auto and 5 speed motor harnesses interchangeable?

    I am in the middle of attempting a 5 speed swap on my car. I bought a full motor and 5 speed tranny off of craigslist, changed the clutch and everything, but the motor had the old harness on it so i figured id just leave it alone and plug that up to the harness in my car but the connectors dont seem to fit and it looked like i had an extra one or something. so will the harnesses work together or witll i still have to sewap them out?

    really depends on whats doesnt fit....remember the auto harness will have an unused plug for the transmission control module..

      You're really not providing any useful information. '90-'91 harnesses are different from '92-'93 harnesses in how it plugs into the distributor. Also, a harness that comes with an F22A6 will have a connector for the black box under the intake manifold to control IAB functionality. Be more descriptive first about what you have and what you're trying to install.

        At least in a 93, the shock tower plugs are different. The auto has larger plugs on the shock towers. If I recall correctly, when I did my swap, I had to use the auto harness because the manual plugs wouldn't fit.

          from what everyone tells me to do the 5 speed swap is that you have to take the engine, motor bay,and the dash harnesses and put them on your car to do it right otherwise you will have problems from what i was told.cuz i was wanting to swap mine and was told this so my boyfriend didn't want to wire tuck the bay again nor take the motor back out or dash so im stuck with an auto.

              I am running a auto harness on my 5spd. And before I did my tuck I had a 5spd harness on mycar which started as a auto car so youcan use a 5spd harness in a auto car. but a 90-91 harness is is different than a 92-93

              somebody lied all you have to rally do with wiring to get the car move is the wires for the park switch so you can turn key.
