I have removed the auto tranny and am swapping in a w56 5spd (engine is a 22re).

What do i need to do with the wiring. My search has turned up that I need to do something with the nuetral safety in order for the engine to start. Can someone tell which one is the nuetral safety?

Is that all I need to do?

I'm documenting this process with pics and will be doing a detailed write-up since it seems more and more folks are doing this swap.


The following two pics show the 5 plugs that connected to the Auto Tranny




These two pics show the wiring coming off the 5spd. (NOTE on the top pic at the bottom the three red wires)

 

you need to jump the connector in the first picture on the right, the big one with the rubber o-ring on it. when i did my swap i just cut the female connector off the auto tranny harness and hard wired it together. it also makes for a handy anti theft device if you hook a switch up to it and run it into the cab. as for the wiring on the manual tranny those are for the reverse lights and the light on the dash that tells you when its in 4WD, i never hooked any of those up on my truck.
