Installing the 6spd Transmission
- At this point you will need to get all the parts ready for your 6spd transmission,
- You
will also need the AUTOMATIC CROSS MEMBER, the
6spd cross member wont fit the auto car body, in following picture, the top
cross member is for the auto, the bottom for the 6spd which we wont use,
- Now you need to modify the auto ecu
harness, basically you will ignore most of the harness that were used on
the automatic tranny (cut them off if you like), you will only use two harness,
the Speedo 3 wire black harness from the automatic transmission will fit the
6spd transmission without a problem.
- Now, the only wire we need to hook
up is the reverse light, look for the big auto gray harness as shown in this
picture,
- Look for the
YELLOW and
BLACK/RED
wires, if you basically join these two wires, the back up light will turn on (if
the car keys are in, and the tranny in reverse), you can test it that way.
- You will need to make or buy a 2 wire
harness and splice it into the auto harness, and the 6spd transmission, order
wont matter, hook them in any way you like, look at these pictures,
- Next, its time to run the clutch hydraulic lines, you can use the Toyota hardware as shown in the picture below, or try my cost effective option.
(Optional) Toyota Hydraulic lines,
- Get your 6spd transmission ready by
bolting all the neccessary parts on it,
- By now you have the 6spd sub-tunnel ready, the wiring ready, transmission parts bolted on it, clutch hydraulic lines ready, the rest is like installing any supra 6spd transmission, you can follow the factory manual on the installation on the transmission by clicking on this link, http://mkiv.com/manual/manualtt/clutch_replacement/index.html
