I have a 86 lxi 5 speed that i have run with both ecu's,5 speed and auto.I did not notice any difference when driving the car.Mark
i never bothered hooking up the clutch switch, i always thought that was just for the cruise control lol. reverse light wires i just ran to the auto shifter
I ran mine with the A/T ECU for awhile too after I did my swap and kept the same Black Vac. Box and didnt notice any difference either.Quote:

look at your engine wiring loom and where it plugs into the cars loom look on the plug on the engine side there will be a green loop there, thats what you cut and hook your reverse lights too. inside the car just unplug that auto shit put a 30amp fuse in the plug with the two black wires for the starter and tape it there, ground the pink wire and also ground the green/black wire for the reverse lights and it should work. thats what i did.
