I picked up a 97 GST about 3 weeks ago. Cheap.
-The car was an auto, half way through a manual swap.
-The car was a GST, half way through a GSX swap.
-The car had grey interior, half way through a Black interior swap.
-Engine bay was in spray can primer- very poorly done, over spray everywhere.
Half way through = carelessly ripped apart I guess. Way too much going on at once.
Absolute mess. Bolts snapped off EVERYWHERE. Ive drilled and tapped dozens of 6x1.0 this week. And about half as many 8x1.25's.
On top of that, this dude just loved to tear shit apart. I received most of the cars parts in boxes. He was also into this rubber crap he sprayed all over the place. Spent lots of time peeling that off of various surfaces.
The shell is in great shape........ I saw the potential.
So- Im going to get it running and driving as a Manual GS-T with Black leather interior.
Shortly after this is accomplished, I will carry out the AWD swap which I have all of the parts to execute.
As of today,
- Engine bay is now base/cleared the OEM color.
-Engine and manual trans are now installed along with all manual parts (pedals/hydraulics/cables/shifter/etc)
-Black interior is now complete and installed
So on to my question- I know I have to find the large automatic trans plug and short 2 of its wires toghether for the neutral safety switch. That part I am clear on.
However, I cannot find any info about which wires would be hooked up to the reverse light switch on the manual transmission. Ive skimmed through several auto to manual swap threads and cannot find anything about this detail.......Anyone???
