I am in the final stages of converting my 1995 Eagle Talon auto over to a 5 speed. All of the threads Ive dug through do not cover these topics so I figured Id post here to elicit help from members that may have already solved it in hopes to help members in the future.
First, after eliminating the auto shifter assembly and cables there is still on cable left that seems to run from the ignition to the shifter assembly itself. This cable seems to drive the key lock and simply pushing the cable in manually allows me to remove the key. Is this what every member who has done an auto to manual have to deal with or is there a better option for me to eliminate the cable? Do I need to mess with the ignition? I have pictured the cable below...
Second is dealing with the engine harness and the abnormal amount of plugs I have that visually and physically speaking have no male connector to go with. As far as I can see aside from the speed sensor, the large plug with 3x3 rows of wires that I need to splice two together, the temp sensor, a few grounds and what appears to be the IAC plug all the other sensors can just be...eliminated? I don't mind back tracking the harness and eliminating the sensors that aren't needed but I wanted to make sure before I do. I also do plan to mock everything up and get the car running before this but wanted to potentially lean on someone else that did NOT simply want to just zip tie the unneeded connectors up and away and spent the time cleaning the harness up as needed. I have pictured the remaining plugs I have sitting, please disregard the large plug on the left that I do kmow has the wires for my reverse lights (TBD) and the two wires that will allow my car to run that need to be spliced.
If you made it this far I truly appreciate your time and patience.
