This should help The complete Vn-Vr Manual Conversion Guide.

Hey man had same problem with my vt manual conversion, once u hook up the speed sensor it will stop stalling or just give it a quick rev when u are comin up to a stop to stop it stalling

[fonzo]

mine did this. i found i got the ecus mixed up on the back seat and i put the aut ocomputer back in. and also can ya get hold of the car to get the conversion out of there is a factory loop of some kind that earths out the start switch. if u can get hold of that makes life easy

[Claudy]

Or all u gotta do is find the 2 wires that go to neutral switch and put female plug on one and male plug on other and plug em together: done! On vt the 2 wires are grey and grey with blue trace and from memory vn wires are grey and pink

[Claudy]

U can also hook up a switch in between these 2 wires and u got urself a killswitch so no one can start car

[Jakeee]

thanks man, now just to figure out the speed sensor... and reverse lights, did you do yours or get an auto elec?

[Jakeee]

and fonzo i cant get a hold of the car it got crushed unfortinatly. just gotta figure out this speedo thing, and im considering going to look at which comp i put back in lol

If u use the t5 speed sensor u gotta give it power and earth then hook up the wire after the computer... If ur car got abs I spliced a wire from the abs sensor on right rear and ran it through 2 speedo corrector then into the blue wire off the auto plug which goes to the ecu. For reverse lights that's easy just gotta find which 2 wires go to it then put 2 female plugs and hook em up to the t5 sensor. I'll look 2moro for u what wires they are

[Jakeee]

i got the t5 box loom. but thats all i got, and do i connect it to the auto one or what? reverse lights hook up to which and omg im so confused.. in the manual box loom it has a connector that goes to the reverse bit and another just layin around that area cable tied to the crossmember. do they just need power and earth or hook up elsewere?

[Claudy]

There will be one sensor with 3 wires thats the speed sensor then another sensor with 2 wires that's the reverse sensor

[fonzo]

oh i didnt have this problem i changed engine loom at the same time. gearbox pluged straight in without any mods.

[Jakeee]

claudy do you know how to wire the loom to the auto one?

[Claudy]

When I did my vt conversion I bought a vr/vs auto to manual conversion thinking it would fit lol but no... I still have it and also instruction at my old house so I'll try get it tomorrow for ya

[Jakeee]

thanks mate would be appreciated, just went for my licence and failed dog tester.
so anytime is fine

[Claudy]

Hey man didn't get time today to get it, I'll try get it tomorrow for ya after tafe

[Claudy]

Alright so I got the paperwork today:#
So for the speed sensor:#
On the passenger side behind the glove box there is a plug that comes from ur ecu and that goes behind ur dash to ur gauges. On this plug there is a purple/white wire, cut it on the side that goes to ur gauges. Extend the purple/white wire on the t5 speed sensor and connect it to the wire that u have just cut (once again make sure u connect it on the right side otherwise it won't work. Then run a 12V accessory power to the pink/blue wire on the sensor and earth the black/white wire.

For reverse lights:
On the auto shifter plug there will be 4 wires. The grey and grey/black need to be connected together so that the car can start in any gear (neutral safety switch bypass). The other 2 wires, pink and green are reverse lights just put female plugs on the end of these 2 wires once u extend them to the gearbox reverse sensor and plug em on. I don't think it matters which way u do it and if it does just swap em once you've tried.#
Good luck!
Also one quick question, is ur car a Buick or Ecotec? Coz this is guide for Buick lol

[Jakeee]

ahh dam mines a geekotec..
i know the reverse lights and inhibitor switch and getting quoted today on the speedo.
