How To:6G72 5 Speed Swap

[galant1983]

Just FYI, if you still want cruise control but don't want to constantly have the CEL, you can hook up pins 9 and 10 to a switch, and disconnect them whenever you want to use cruise control (say for a 3 hour drive). When you get to your destination or back home, you can clear your CELs (if you have the capability). Once you clear your CELs, make sure pins 9 and 10 are reconnected so it doesn't pop up again.

This also serves as a safety switch. Can't start the car if the switch is in the cruise control mode. I just tested it out and I'm pretty sure everything works out. Cleared the CEL and it didn't come back since it thinks it's in Park/Neutral again, so that's good.

if i have pin 9 and 10 hooked up at all times is that bad or good?

Well, you're always going to throw CELs anyway, but you need pins 9 and 10 connected to start the car. Previously, I had them always connected, but this didn't allow me to use cruise control. So if you don't need cruise control, then having them always connected is a good thing lol

Can't you just take the white shifter box off the auto trans and twist it Until it lights up N and tuck it away??? Instead of shorting out pins 9-10??

[hsinya]

yes, but its pretty bulky. not easy to tuck. and it looks ugly as hell lol

I agree its bulky and hard to tuck. I am at the end of my swap, and I am running into some starting problems... First, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I am at the end of my 5-speed swap and I go to turn the key, all I get is a "click". The battery is fully charged and being charged while I am trying all of this.

I have so far.....
-replaced the starter
-bought a starter relay (only the 5-speed uses them) It was worth a try
-crossed over pins 9 & 10

Every time...."Click"

Does anything in the "auto" shifting knob sensors need to be tripped or grounded out?

Thanks for your help

[beam514]

sorry for the late response, but nothing in the knob should need to be tripped or grounded out as far as I'm aware. Is everything plugged back in, and have you double checked that you shorted the correct pins? I can't even remember what the car does when the pins aren't shorted, but I'll go outside and check right now since I am redoing the wiring anyway.

If a 16 year old can do it, then you can too! The wiring isn't that hard, you should get a Haynes manual it helped me out.

[Corey2kG]

Thanks but I think I was running on no sleep n over thinking everything. I realized I've done EVERTHING to the front end of the car but the tranny. So disassembly will be very easy til tranny time.

What kind of wiring needs to be done I've already done the swap and I don't know what else to do😞
