Your transmission lives happily my GL.

Reviving the dead but how does the trim at the rear windows come off? I'm fixing the same situation myself right now.

Sounds like it would work!

Here you can see that I got rid of the six wire plug (since I didn't have the female end) and used spare two wire female plugs (green circle) to hook the new wiring to:

I didn't get the dash harness either so it was a lot of cut and splice. The reverse light on the dash isn't working right yet. If I ground the wire direct, it'll come on, but when its grounded with the reverse lights it doesn't. You can see in the auto switch there are two separate paths. I'll post the correction when I get it sorted out.

There's nicer ways to ask for more info but it wasn't directed at you Your mileage may vary but here's what I got: This is what the connectors look like versus the wiring diagram: This one test out as the neutral on mine ("on" in every gear, "off" in neutral) The reverse was on the same side as neutral but had two red wires (same as low and diff lock, neutral had two blacks: If you are swapping from a 3AT you need to wire to this connector: With these wires run to the reverse switch: And to bypass the park/neutral auto starter situation do this: Let me know and I can double check tomorrow.

xbeerd, that sounds odd. The light green /black on the two pin connector was neutral on mine. The g/gw was reverse. I got this tranny from grossgary and I think it was an 88 or 89 RX. The neutral and reverse switch are on the driver's side. The low / diff lock (for FT ones anyway) are on the passenger side. I can take a pic of the two switches tomorrow. I believe reverse was the lower one, more to the rear of the car.

Sounds like you wired up the neutral switch. This is for FT DR but should be similar: On the 6 wire plug: The position of G/BG is low light switch The position of B/LR is diff lock switch The position of BW/G is reverse (mine was actually GW/G) On the two wire plug: LR/B is neutral switch (or rather in any gear its "on" in neutral its "off") All are simple on/off switches and not to ground or anything. Actual wire colors may vary slightly. Use the wire position to locate. Again, not to restate the obvious, just to break it down. Also if you didn't get the 6 wire plug end from the donor car, if you follow the 6/2 wire plugs back up towards the rear of the tranny, you will find the switches all originate with a twi wire male end that is very common. In my case, I had several of the female ends I clipped off unused wiring.

Just for my own future reference On the 6 wire plug: The position of G/BG is low light switch The position of B/LR is diff lock switch The position of BW/G is reverse (mine was actually GW/G) On the two wire plug: LR/B is neutral switch (or rather in any gear its "on" in neutral its "off") All are simple on/off switches and not to ground or anything.

Good job and well done. I love it.

Probably the six wire harness that comes from the back of the switches I'll post a pic tonight.

Thanks! I do have that one, I'm looking for anything that shows the wiring that runs from the HVAC controls (heat, bilevel, defrost, ac, ac max over the fan speed and wiper switch) I haven't ever seen this set of switches covered on any diagrams.

Does anyone have an EA82 wiring diagram for the a/c-heat controls (at the dash)? I've searched every wiring diagram I have and don't see anything more than the blower relay wiring covered. Thanks!
