(Auto loom from ecu to the inner wing is part of the main body harness!!! )

Wiring modification to include starter imobiliser to prevent engine start when in drive

Auto dash cluster surround bezel with auto box control lights in + wirng to ecu

Hold/ power switch loom to ecu ( optional )

Flex plate

Flex plate to crank bolts

A task indeed to convert a factory manual zed to auto, will need sone more bits than your list, at the moment I can think of these:

 

Auto ecu for the engine

(Auto loom from ecu to the inner wing is part of the main body harness!!! )

Wiring modification to include starter imobiliser to prevent engine start when in drive

Auto dash cluster surround bezel with auto box control lights in + wirng to ecu

Hold/ power switch loom to ecu ( optional )

 

Flex plate

Flex plate to crank bolts

Bolts for the torque convertor to flex plate

 

Bellhousing sandwhich plates

 

Plate for covering hole where master cylinder previously fitted

Thanks alot Jeff will have to look into this in detail as to what is effectively required to make it work and what is not as it would not be on an everyday zed

Ah ive got so many balance bars lol The chrome one is a NA anyway so thats handy with no clutch booster connection on the end :)

 

Ok so this harness `Auto loom from ecu to the inner wing is part of the main body harness!!!` Is that going from the autobox ecu and to where? I presume its down the left hand side is it all complete with the auto loom for the engine ecu or a different one?

 

Also i presume this loom will go up to the dash lights somewhere to illuminate the extra lamps for an auto? From what i remember is it about 2 or 3 lamps along the bottom right batch for oil pressure and autobox temp?

 

Another also with autobox does the oil get cooled aon a heat exchanger effect in with the radiator and would an external oil cooler like a Mocal one be enough to cool the oil by air?

 

All in though it seems quite possible just need to get it all right before i proceed

 

Cheers folks :)
