Auto Wiring loom

[steiny]

hey i got 2 questions for ya
1. when you convert an auto to a manual do you need the manual loom or can ya just use the auto one?

2. can those sensor looking things on the manual g/box plug in to the auto loom somehow?

had my berlina for 3 months done 500klms and already hate the auto
(i already got the conversion stuff)
Cheers

this i gotta hear. i've heard both ways. yes you need loom and ecu etc and i've heard no you don't, you just leave auto plug off ecu and run wires fom plug on manual gearbox to reverse lights. i'm interested to hear what the majority reckons.

i got the manual ecu when i bought the stuff, but the manual loom was cut so it was no good

i had mine swapd from auto 2 manual
i think the loom was the same coz in the quate it wasnt writen down as swap, the only thing that is differant is the autos have a gearbox slector (only starts in P or N), if this plug is removerd the car wont start.

i was tolld that i should take my car 2 a electrisions to get it wired so i didnt need it but i thought meh if i go on holidays just take it out and the car shouldnt b gone coz wats the chance of some1 figgerin it out

and wat sensors do u mean

heres 2 pics on wat im on bout,
if that is remved the car wont start, this is plugd in bhind the brake booster

there is another plug 2 the right of this but im not sure if it was used b4

wouldn't it be a simple matter of closing the circuit?

yah
i could do it but i like the idea of havn another way of stopn those low life scumms from takn my baby away from me

[steiny]

the reverse light switch i will assume is just a direct plug in

thanks all for clearing that up
