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 :) 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.

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

what is 1ohm or 5.6ohm used for, I'm trying to figure out if the kit I have for a EF6 of AU6/8 is compatible with my EF8, I have a stage 2 shiftkit that has 18 ohms and 21 ohms, but I can't seem to find the 1 or 5.6 on any other wire combination, and there's only 3 wires coming out of the box.

also are the pin 7 and 29 you mention the pins on the TCM.

neds fantastic simple diagram of the shift kit even an old f@rt like me (57) can understand can you tell me if the au has the same numberd pins as the e series ecu===job well done===

mines in finally, 2 stage, and it works a treat, very postive gear changes, and not for the faint hearted with a lead foot, if anyone needs the wire colours, pin orientation and resistors I used for EF V8 (the one with the TCM) let me know.
