Tranny Swap Almost Done!!!!!!!!!!

Featured Replies

OK, everything is connected in Murphy, the $500 87 T-Wag, formerly dragging a 3 speed auto tranny, now sporting a FT4WD tranny:grin:. The one little problem - the neutral saftey switch. Does that circuit extend to the shifter itself? I thought the switch was connected to the tranny itself but I closed each circuit going to the tranny and no starter activation. Any tips?

I thought it was in the transmission.. cause there isn't anything connected to the gearshift to tell the car what gear it's in.....

 

it may look like a brass plug of sorts...

It's in the pedal assembly for the clutch. Clutch in = neutral. But the FT4WD tranny I thought also had one on the side near the reverse switch....

 

I know the regular D/R doesn't have one in the tranny.....

 

As for getting the starter to turn, it *should* just work. As long as the ECU pin isn't connected it will think it's in neutral anyway. That was how mine worked, both with a manual and an auto ECU.....

The 2 center black wires (which may have a stripe) of the electrical connector by the shifter need to be jumpered.

This is the correct answer. The two black wires, with yellow and white stripes, sit side by side in the middle of the large molex connector
