Make sure you put a 560ohm resistor in the redpower line. Without this you will burn the LED's


whats with the red and the green led i just want a simply little blue led to show when its on how would i do that and the 560ohm resistor how many watt ?

you will get away with a half watt resistor, thats whats used on the clusters. You can have a blue LED to show its on. Just take one of the LED's out of the circuit.

Yup Yup!! Few hours with a soldering iron on sunday and $10 bucks later.

Makes for much fun, and pulls damn hard from first to second.

Thanks Neds.. your instructions are easy to follow and work better than I hoped. Good Work.

Just had a look at the diagram for El's. It looks exactly the same, except pin 71 is actually pin 57, and pin 81 is pin 38. Other than that it should use the same resistors and the same setup.
i have a 91 eb 5lt with the le 4 spd. is the computer and, or the pinouts the same
for this model , it is a fairmont ghia if that makes a difference.

pins would be different mate, but otherwise the circuit would be the same. wouldnt have a clue on the pinout though, try your gregories.

the V8's have a seperate trans computer above the drivers left knee like EA's

the S5 wire to the TCM is on pin 7, and +12v on pin 29.

Made my shift kit three weeks ago.

Makes a big difference from 1st to 2nd at full throttle. Bit harsh for every day use though.

But that is what the switch is for icon_smile.gif I built mine with the 22ohm and the 18ohm and can switch between them. I must say though, that there isn't really much difference between normal and the 22ohm setting.

Ok i went out to get the parts and the smallest 10w resistor i could find at Jaycar was 20 ohm and i need a 18 and 5.6 or did i read it wrong.
d**k smith only had 5w resistors.
Also to rig up the Leds it says to use a 560ohm resistor , but in what wattage ?? 1/2 1/4 1 5 or 10.

Boys, boys, boys.

Any E-series V8 has a seperate transmisison controller - it was only the I6 that had transmission control intergrated with the ECU.

The trans control module is located under the dash, near your left leg.

Pin 7 on the TCM goes to the S5 solenoid. Pin 29 is the check line for the solenoid... 1ohm resistor for the solenoid, 20ohm for the check line...[/


To anuone who has done this to an el xr8, hopfully i dont sound too stupid but i thought i'd ask. just so i dont kill my trans

On an EL XR8 i use a 20ohm instead of a 18ohm, and a 1 ohm instead of a 5.6ohm. pin 7 is used instead of 71, and pin 29 is used instead of 81.

Cheers all
