Looking at doing a similar swap, let me know what you run into.

Up somewhere under your dash is the plug for the clutch multi-function switch, I can assure you of two facts, first that it is there, and second that it is already "Jumpered".

You need to find the plug and remove the jumper block to connect it to the pushrod mounted switch IF you choose to install one...

False. My 99 did NOT have any provisions for the clutch switch. I believe this was s 98+ trait.

I know what I was looking for... I know my 96 auto had the plug...but I can assure you that the 99 did not.

i installed the 5 speed engine harness everyone said i had to and get the computer flashed or i was gunna loop it like u did with the auto harness at the nss

I used the manual ECU and auto harness. Looped the NSS and ran the reverse switch wires to the pigtail for the switch.

I had to have the manual ECU flashed for the PATS
