I start my manual swap in just under 2 weeks, and I just wanted to clear up a question I had so I can finish the swap with the least amount of problems.

This is what I have learned for the manual wiring:
-The wires I need to deal with are all located on the PNP switch connector. I connect the two green wires together (so that the car will start), and I connect the two blue wires to the reverse switch on the trans (so that the reverse lights work). Is this correct?

My main question deals with my speed sensor. I have a '95 (w/ speed sensor), and the trans I'm installing is a '96 M56H. So there will be no speed sensor on the trans. I need to know what wires I need to connect in order for my car to correctly display the speed. I haven't found any good info searching so I was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction.

Any help is appreciated!

Only wiring you need to do is the for reverse and starter wires. Revers is the blue and blue/gray wires. Starter are the heavy gauge red/green wires....everything else you can tuck away (like I did) or chop it off ( like your Rabbi did). For the speed sensor, tap into your ABS wiring homie!!

Thank you Alex.

You connect the wires from the transmission speed sensor plug to the ABS wheel sensor plug.

:)



Anyone wanna tell me how to make the cruise control work? Haven't had time to search for that one yet.

FWIW, no clutch safety switch on any 850 manual I've driven.
