Working on adaptor plates

 

Had to remove a bit for the bolt to sit right I used a file

 

I will post more pics of progress

 

where did u get those LED strips from? i think i wanna redo mine to the strips and bulbs so i double my chances of the bulbs and or strip from failing by having them both inside the cluster.

 

Got them from eBay there the waterproof ones has like a clear coat over them

 

 

I need to order act tm1-hdss($450) clutch I'm also looking for a gs400 3.26 gear ratio I found one at junkyard for $300 I'll keep looking

 

Today I connected the tranny plug w solenoids on harness all the plugs from auto tranny stayed on harness including nss I left it on park.

Connected 5 pin relay w hand brake
Hand brake up it goes to park
Hand brake down it goes to drive

Hopefully I get no check engine light and be able to pass smog obd2

 

Will post pics on how I connected relay took me about 3 hrs to figure how to wire I still haven't tried starting will pit flywheels on to try to see if the hand brake thing works

 

Good to see you're making progress. I like that line shield you made

 

thanks man, slowly but surely.

i just cut a hose and wrapped it around the stainless steel line so if it does decide to move a bit i will be protected by the rubber hose then i just put a zip tie.

ghetto fab line shield lol. had a sheet of metal here n the garage and said something is better than nothing lol. it does the job

 

Just realized you're doing this on an obd2 sc400. I've been wanting to do a manual swap on my '99 vvt-i sc400 forever. I guess with the electronics and CEL issues, it would be pretty much exactly the same as on your '96?

 

don't people just tie up the auto sensors somewhere in the car so there are no cel's for the solenoids. hopefully there is a better way than that though.

 

when i get home ill take pics on how i have the harness connected also how i have the 5pin relay connected to the hand brake

 

Flywheel fits perfect

Holes line up perfect
