AT/MT identifier, and gas guzzle?
simbey1982 replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXby existing AT wiring, you mean the connector in the engine compartment? No dash indicators so this isnt a problem thanks

AT/MT identifier, and gas guzzle?
simbey1982 replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOk here is the story, in the beginning just to get the car to start, we wired two leads on the B11? (one in the engine compartment that the auto was connected to) connector this just fooled the car into thinking it was in neutral. then we wired up the same leads but this time (to make a long story short) basically wired it so when the clutch is pushed in it shorts these two leads and when it is out the circut is open.....should i wire the neutral switch from the transmission to the ECU? if so how? It had no wire coming out of it...we grounded it and got a 0V when grounded to chasis...that should be right...i have a 1997 impreza go here to see the ECU guide i used http://www.ravensblade-impreza.com/modifications/misc/wiring/wiring.html Thanks again josh i really appreciate all of your help Cory

AT/MT identifier, and gas guzzle?
simbey1982 replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWe wired the clutch pedal through a relay to the B11? connector pins 10 and 11 or 12 or something...so when i push the clutch in, it completes the circut telling the car it is in neutral and when the clutch is up, it is in gear....the rpms do go up and down when i push the clutch in and out...should i do something diffrently? also, we grounded the AT/MT pin so that we get a 0V reading on the chassis...no wire coming out of it....it was 5v until grounded..... on a funny note, i wired up the reverse light, no problem just used my ohm meter tested a couple leads found the ones hooked to the connector for the AT and \boom it worked....well the next day im driving to work and one of my coworkers says...your reverse lights were on when you were going by...so i looked no lights?? what?? turns out i had wired it to the nuetral sensor and it was completing the circuit every time i put it in gear =0) cory

simbey1982 replied to robb1's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUm,,,The DUDE arent most subaru engines with exception to some of the newest ones, all non interference engines?? Far as i know the only thing that happens if the timing belt on my 97 impreza breaks it just means a tow and a timing belt.....im pretty sure most suby engines are non interference Cory

AT/MT identifier, and gas guzzle?
Sup all....havent given you an update on the swap in awhile....its about 95% done....of course there is something new i want to do everyday so it will never be at 100% Anyway any of you gurus out there want to enlighten me on all the functions of the AT/MT identifier pin...i have gathered it makes the mixture more or less rich...and im guessing the ECU is then looking for diffrent volatges on the nuetral pin etc....any other benifits....what about leaving it on AT any benifits disadvantages?? Also im getting about 210 miles out of a tank of gas....city driving mostly....seems a little low..even for a suby...any suggestions? thanks Cory

Tranny Swap: Day X (issue)
simbey1982 replied to simbey1982's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXhmm...well it isnt the TO bearing after disscussing it with my friend its not really possible to install backwards....This is just perplexing because the pressure plate, clutch etc are all meant for cable.... if we just use our hands on the clutch fork it doesnt seem too terribly stiff we are still thinking it is something to do with the cable.....but i replaced with a new one with no change....perhaps a spring clip came off the TO bearing and is causing trouble....pressure plate giving up.... Thanks for all of your help Cory
