In fact, we just acquired all leftover pedals from the Bowling Green plant from the end of C5 production!


This will keep us going for a little while! It really is a neat setup. Built in cruise control, no cables to run. The street rodders really love it.

John,

On my conversion, I will be using an Audi/Getrag 6 speed (mid-enigine application) that has a VSS on the output flange side cover. To run an ETC, does the VSS need to couple into the harness, and if so, I suspect it needs to be a compatible signal. Also, is it required for cruise control? Can you advise?

Thanks,

Andy1

You need the VSS signal if you want cruise control to work. It doesn't necessarily have to be accurate, but some signal must be there.
I like to use the VSS signal whenever possible, but you could still run the ETC without a VSS, just no cruise or speedo from the LS1 PCM.
