    Default auto to manual conversion

    just wondering if a manual computer is required when converting a vl rb30 from auto to manual. or will the auto computer do the job fine?

    whats the difference between them anyway?

    auto one is fine... driver side of the engine bay theres a relay with 2 thick purple wires going into it.. cut n join them to bypass nuetral switch n problem solved..

    unless you have to loom youll need to make your reversing light loom i had to make myne because i didnt get the wiring

    i was given a plug to put in place of the inhibitor switch so i don't have to molest the loom, so that part is solved.

    what will i have to do to the loom to get my reverse lights working again?

    if you dont have the manual loom just make up a two wire one that with female terminals on on end (i think females just check the plug on the box) and near the brakebooster theres a couple looms up there that were from the auto..

    you want the white one theres a thickish pink and a green wire... cut them n wire it in

    simple as that
