Default T-56 reverse lockout ?
donor engine and trans are from 02 Camaro (LS1 - T56) . Will the ECM handle the load of the reverse lockout solenoid, or does it require a solenoid to operate it? from what I see, it's wired directly to the ecm, but that seems like a lot of pull for a straight connection.

tanks,

why not delete it?

Mine's disconnected (electrically), just push through it to get to reverse.

I just hooked up my switch to the ECM, works like a dream. Very easy, switched 12 volt to one wire, hooked up the other wire to the ECM.

I wired mine straight to ECM. Factory did it this way without issues. Why change it. Mines worked fine for 2 years now.

I have mine hooked up to a switched 12 volt source with the computer grounding the other wire. On another car I am doing for a friend that does not have a computer we are just going to wire the switched 12 volt source into the brake lights so it will only activate with the brake being pressed. It is a LT1 T56 but is in a 67 Camaro with a 396.

I just used a line lock switch on my stick. 12+ and ground the other. I have a Viper T56, so the vss is not connected due to the different signal output. I use a GPS speedo.

OK cool. thanks. it appeared to go straight to the ECM on my (poor) schematic, but I figured I'd better check before creating expensive smoke.

cheers,
