hi does anyone out there know what wires i have to splice together on a manual conversion have spent the last 2 days changing engine and i am about to connect everything back up but unsure what wires on my old auto loom need to be modifiedfor the manual box thanks

you just need the green wire for reverse and the speedo sensor wire and plug off auto loom

someone told me about the wires that tell that the car is in netrual or parked to start when still an auto do i have to short these to get the card to start

Just short the two wires (black and brown if I remember correctly). They are the heaviest guage wires going to the auto gearbox and are in a black plug on their own. Alternatively you can short out at the relay under the bonnet (big relay far LH corner near boost guage sensor) and eliminate the relay altogether. Cant remember the wire colours at the relay. Possibly black and white & black.

If you look at the 6 pin large Grey plug mounted behind the drivers side headlamp, its one of four plugs for the gearbox loom. There should be two purple wires, short these across and that should by pass the inhibitor switch.

 

As for reverse lights, you have to tap into the old autobox plugs, cant tell you which ones yet, I havnt done mine yet!!

the grey plug on the inner wing. connect the green and black wires to the reverse sensor and voila.

Had heard it was, but wanted to test it first!!

lol

thanks for your help all working now back on the road soon

Does anyone know the colours for the neutral switch at the plug behind the headlamp?

doesn't really need to be connected that wire at all
