Raley Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 frack the clutch safty, just leave it in nutrual. Also you need to change passenger upper mount bracket or buy a conversion mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have plugs on my front wire harness for the front clip area, the headlights and blinkers and horns, I have plugs at the end of the harness that i have no idea where they go. And alldata is not a help at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 All the plugs your currently using are going to be used again. There isnt any added wiring other then knock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raley Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Wait, i reread what i wrote, now i have to correct myself, you will be using wires already there but there will be extras on the auto trans, motor will be fine and there isnt a knock sensor. Only wire that im not sure about is reverse lights and the clutch wire.... but youll be fine. If ylou search google im pretty sure you will find a full write up on it, eg or ek will steer you in the right direction, thewy are almost the same.
