Splice the 2 largest wires under the center console together, they are in a plug that plugged into the automatic shifter assembly. One is black with a red stripe, the other is black with a white stripe.

Yep thats all. or you can leave the automatic shifter in either park or neutral, but that may leaves to chances.

unplug the blue shift interlock box that bolts up to where the clutch pedal goes.

If you're talking about an auto to manual swap:

Remove auto gearshift entirely.
Rewire for the starter interlock and reverse lights.
Disconnect or remove the key cylinder solenoid.
Use a manual ECU. Auto ECU will naturally throw transmission codes finding there is no auto transmission in the car. Any time the CEL is on a rev limiter is imposed.

^ that's just dumb, and a complete waste of time/money.


there is a blue box under the dash/steering column. Unplug it and the key will come out.

He cant locate the blue box for some reason. I dont think you need to buy a different cylinder. I read somewhere that all u had to do is open it up and remove the pin inside for the key to come out??
