As for now, I am going back to 5AT engine harness, but the engine harness include the transmission sensors etc.

For those who used the Automatic Transmission harness, did you simply left those manual transmission connectors unplugged or you did something special?

Thanks.

I'm using the 5at harness and ecu. I don't have anything plugged up to the 6MT Trans. Back up lights won't work cause the 5 at harness won't work with the tranny.

you just need to repin the plugs. you can look in the FSM and match up the wire function to their place in the plug for 5at and 6mt and repin it accordingly.

Car lags on starting

Did anyone have problems turning on the car.

It cranks all the time and it will always turn on but sometimes it takes more times than others..

Has new crank/cam sensors, spark plugs and battery.

Car runs great.

I only wired in the ingnition to the clutch and to the gray/red wire.
-was there anything else that i have to wire ? Or was something done wrong?

You can get the reverse lights to work by reading the FSM!

anyone put a 6mt cluster in? I changed from 5at to 6mt cluster and it seems to be affecting the door jamb switch. It is affecting window tucking feature, dome lights, and headlights auto off.

I can't imagine I'm the only one who has this going on... Above 3mph or so, the RPM's pick up to about 1500. Below that, it idles normal. How do I stop this, even though it does make the car easy to drive... It has to be something from it being 5AT.

mine works normally. only thing I can think of is if it is cold it will idle higher until it hits normal temps.

Do you have the 6mt gauge cluster in your car? I can't get it to work properly in mine. Gauges work fine but dome lights and auto headlights off etc dont work as it seems to be messing with the door open signal

quick question

Not exactly sure where to post this, but I wanted to try to get a quick response.

I have a 2004 Coupe with 104K miles and a Stillen supercharger (installed by previous owner around 85K). My clutch and flywheel have been going out over the last couple of months, and it is do or die. I bought the Jim Wolf Clutch and Flywheel, but I'd like to replace the rear main seal on engine and front transmission seal & gasket. Does anyone know what the part numbers/names are for those seals/gaskets??

(Not doing the work, personally, but I'm trying to buy all the parts.)

Did you have any issues starting the car keeping the 5at efi harness and ecu/ecm? .. I took out trans and checked flywheel alignment and it was unaligned properly yet still won't turn on, it just cranks and cranks. Took out a spark plug and there's no spark. Only code on computer is the u100X looking for auto tcm.

Will getting a 6mt ecu work with the 5at engine harness?

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated! All I have left of this project is to start the car
