I already have a manual transmissions 93 EX coupe. So al the internal cabin work is done. I am looking to eventually swap a B16A into the car. To make things easier etc I am intending to drop the engine and transmission into the car as a unit with another harness. I have obtained one from a 95 EX with a D16Z6 but it was an automatic. Most guides I have found cover all the changes one has to make in the cabin but very little discussion on what has to change on the automatic harness itself. I realize the shifter plugs from the auto translate to the back up light sensor, but I havent been able to find a guide that tells you where to the move the pins on the connecting 2-piece harnesses back to the ecu/cabin. Again, my car is already a manual so I dont need to play games with the console shifter or any of that other necessity junk for going from an automatic to a manual.

 

I don't see the info in helms manual either. Has someone used an auto ex harness in an already manual car for a swap?

 

Why not use the harness that you already have?

 

Mostly fear of the connectors disintigrating when I pull them off. I did an engine swap on a camry of similar vintage and all the connectors broke as I pulled them off. I want to put this other harness on my newer motor so that I can just drop it in and hook it up at the shock towers already assembled.

 

Well if you're careful and not rush the swap than nothing could be damaged. Inspect the harness before pulling.
