i wouldnt do the computer i used an auto comp and its easy just connect two wires together for overdrive and two wires on the neutral start switch go to the lowest sensor on your clutch pedal. I am still working on my reverse lights so as soon as i figure it out ill post some pics up. Also the guy i bought the tranny from upgraded my xcase and tranny so my rear output shaft flange thing was different, to fix this i went on trailgear and got their triple drilled universal flange thing.

yea if i were not closer id be happy to help but CA is a ways away from FL. Im talking about the rear flange that the rear drive shaft connects to the tranny, you just take that bolt off pull it off and make sure its 30 splines then once your new trailgear flange arrives you just have to bolt it back up.

I just finished the rough install of my w56c. I still need to wire up the reverse and 4wd lights. AND, the Neutral start, or just jump the wires. I started at 7am and am now done.
I still need to address my interior. I have a nice piece of duct sheet metal that I already made a template for, but I needed to get the truck to move it self so I put that part off till tomorrow. I did drive it today and it was great! I am more tired then I've been in a while.

its an 88 4runner, i know theres plenty of threads on it but im more of a visual guy and i couldnt see any of their pictures so i finally got around to cracking open my fsm and i found the wires i need. The only thing i have left is to get the pigtail off the reverse light plug on the tranny to splice my wires into. As for 4wd lights i really havent thought much about them, while im in my fsm ill look though.

yea there will be some color differences, but overall itll be the same. Do you have a haynes manual or some kind of fsm? I just tried to upload my pics of the reverse light and 4wd indicator i just hooked up this morning, but its not working for some reason. Overall once i sourced out wires off my old tranny and studied the fsm for around 45 mins all the wiring only took me maybe 30 mins to triple check and route everything to look factory. I would suggest if you plan on runnig the wires run a length of wire off the switches on the tranny long enough to reach the old auto plugs before you put the manual. I tried to do this with it in and it was no fun at all.

ook so my newest issuse is my shifter. the guy i bought it from had an extension welded in so it doesnt clear my radio....After working soo hard and even taking the day off of work and school i had it all ready to drive and my shifter wont get into 1st 3rd or 5th. Oh and my clutch pedal doesnt hit the neutral start switch. So if anyones got any ideas id appreciate them.

I just through a 5 speed in my 88 Pickup. For the neutral switch, I just jumped the two wires instead of connecting them to anything. Works great. And for the shifters, mine were also a little too far forward and i just bent it a bit in a vice. A friend of mine took it out and welded and angle on to it. Both look clean and feel fine.
