Nice to see more ppl converting to the T5. I still love my EB Ghia with the T5 in it. So much more fun to drive than with an auto.

ok so i have an el fairmont ghia and the auto blew up i am curretnyl converting it to manual now with out having to use the resistors which wires have to be joined togeither to make the car think it is in neutral?

You need resistors.

why do i need resistors y cant i just bridge out across the 2 wires

ok but on the el loom you cant disconnect it from the engine loom.
so do i just cut and solider in the car

yes, or put the resisters at the gearbox end of the loom...

ok so what wires do i wire up when they are not the same as in the tech doco

what i did was i went to the wreckers and got the short ef auto loom they charged me $5....

just follow the wires on the ef loom and solder ur wires in to the corresponding wires... im pretty sure they are *solid yellow* with *black with whites stripe* whenever in the doco it says purple it means pink but anyways its easier just to buy the loom and follow it worked a treat 4 me

Hope it helps,

Alex

Just after a bit of info on the EL Futura wiring info. Mine has the big single red plug like an AU and i cant find any wires in the right colors to chop and change it. I got the donor box from an XH ute so i couldnt just take the whole loom and computer which would have been much easier but ill work with what i have so long as i can get a little help.

Anyone got any ideas at all?

he black plug is for starter inhibitor

is there any violet wires in this plug??
as from memory the 2 violet wires are the trans temp wires, this is where the 1.2 k resister goes..

I have a pair of green, one of which has a violet stripe and a pair of pink. Could the pink be the ones?

Hey guys,

Quick question re the "must be in neutral to start" wiring, how do I bypass that? Just bridge the two out?
