automatic to manual conversion question

[dazsir]

I have the loom that travels to the gearbox, with the plugs, on my red one, which I am dismantling.  I will have to check the black one, will let you know!

The red ones loom is out, was easy to remove....

Pip said about £500 to do it, but could not do for ages!

You coming over then?

cool! the engine harness alos has loom that travels down to the gearbox, the auto loom has to seperate wire lines that go to the gearbox where the manual loom has one that travels all the way to about the middle of the gearbox and has i think about 4 connectors.

£500 for the engine loom aint to bad, considering its a decent used engine loom. That isnt including stripping the main ring loom arounf the car and and from under the dash. Just finishing my car now and then got to do my mates, will let you know shortly if i can give you a hand with it, really tied up at the moment. Is your car still a sequential setup?

Still sequential set-up, pulled the ECU loom out of a manual, was hoping by putting that in the black one (Used to be AUTO) that would sort the problem out....

what problem are you having with it at the moment?? have you put the manual ecu loom in it yet? that would be half of the conversion, you can jump some wires but for the full complete conversion you need to take the main ring loom out and change that over for the manual version for a complete setup. if you have the parts you might as well do it as there very expensive to buy, just quite a big job! if pip was charging £500 for the engine loom changing would proberbly charge about £900 for the main ring loom change lol! Depends on if you want a proper job or a bodgy job by splicing the loom and adding new parts to it. If you want mate i should have some free time some time next week, email me your tel number to amirs@hotmail.co.uk
