auto ecu with manual set up?

Postby deaf_rattle » Sat Dec 17, 2005 6:49 pm

I am looking at doin the silvertop 20v conversion very soon.
Only thing is, its an auto loom/ecu and going to be running manual.

What is involved in getting the auto ecu to run with the manual trans?

If anyone has done it with a silvertop 4age....


cheers

I would say it'd be same as running any auto ecu with manual box. Bridge the terminals for the starter inhibitor switch so it can be started.

Yep...what was said above.

Bridge the two wires for the inhibitor and she should be fine.
