#349062 does the stock shifter have a harness like the automatic shifter does?

when doing auto-man conversion, the only reason your modifying the harness plugs is for lights and simple stuff right ?

okay,

would it be easier to swap the harness for a 5speed to use a 5speed ecu ?
this is something im still trying to figure out and im not getting anywhere with most of the things im reaading off the internet.

#349100 The auto and 5 speed ECUs both plug into the same harness. All obd1 ecu's will plug into the OBD1 harness that is in your car, no need to change the cabin harness over to one from a manual car when doing a manual swap. Just run those few wires for the reverse light and the clutch safety switch and you're good to go. :thumb:
