Swapping from auto to 5 speed.

[tweeaks]

I am swapping my auto for a 5 speed. I know I should use the 5 speed engine harness. What about the harness that goes back into the cabin? Can I just leave the auto harness in there and plug the 5 speed harness into it?

use all of your stock harnesses. 5spd engine harness wont mate to the auto cabin harness.

Allright thanks, i'll have to print all of that info out because without looking at the actual car I can't really visualize what is said.

good luck with the swap. for most people, the wiring is the most confusing part, and the guide i linked to has incorrect wire colors.

Allright I understand that part, the only thing I can't figure out is the guide says to cut 5 connectors off of the harness from the tranny. It says

Cut off both counter shaft speed sensor connectors, the torque lock-up connector, and up/down shift connector. Leave the torque lock-up wires (yellow and green/black) exposed and re-tape the harness.

I'm sot sure exactly which sensors these are, but I have my harness hooked back up to my tranny so I can visualize which sensors are which. I can only find four connctions excluding the speed sensor connection, which of course I still need for my other transmission. When he says to cut both countershaft speed sensor connectors do they both connect to the same connector? The only connectors I am finding on the tranny are the two connectors for the four solenoids in the front of the tranny, the connector from the left front, and the connector from the left rear. Are those the only four I need to cut off? Thanks for the help.

i wouldnt try to think it over TOO much before you actually start doing the conversion. when you have the 5spd tranny mounted and are attempting to hook the old harness back up to it, youll clearly see the plugs that dont go to anything that can be cut off.

Allright then thanks I think I have it figured out with my harness on my old motor, seeing where things go, and where things go on the H22 and the 5-speed.
Thanks alot.
