Hi guys, well i'm nearly there with gearbox and am looking at the finer details, My car ia a NA auto, i removed the box and am fitting a replacement, unfortunately i couldn't get a box from a NA so am fitting, after "'course you can use it" advice one from a TT. Now for the minor details.

 

The loom from the old box has a connector coming out of it (see pic) but the loom on the TT doesn't, what's if for and to confuse things, i cant see a recepticle in the engine bay.

 

The rev sensor from the old box has some fly leads (see pic), any idea where these go as i cant see anywhere under the car to fit them to.

 

Thats it for now, but if i find anymore funnies i'll be back.

Hi Guys, any one got any answers? I'm still unsure about the "Extra Connector" in the bottom photo that doesn't exist on my loom, i think i see where it goes but i dont have one. I think i've sussed the speed sensor leads so thats not an issue, So any ideas about this connector.

 

Thanks

So you have, reverse light switch, speedo/revolution sensor and extra connector looks like the Inhibitor switch. There should be a connector for it as the autobox as far as im aware use the same connectors, it will be on the drivers side of the bulkhead, it goes to the starter relay behind the arch liner.

Hi Groov, Inhibitor switch, that sounds right, i've heard that before, but why do i not have one on the box i'm putting in! the pics are from the knackered one that came out.

 

Thanks

Rich

You should have or you wont be able to select a gear or start the car, have you any pics of the replacement box?

sure, here goes

Are you sure the plug hasnt been cut off? should have a plug on the end, check for the wire in the corrugated sheathing/wire tidy.

Groove, i'll have a look tomorrow when its light.... any idea why it might have been cut off?

 

Rich

Laziness, but unusual.

Groov, as you suspected, cut off...

Thought so, cut a few inches of wires with the plug off your old one, then splice, heatshrink re tape and jobs a good en.
