I just want to add something here, I read all 19 pages and didn't see it. I am 90% done with this swap, took about 4 hours all I have left is wiring. I have access to a lift so it makes it a lot quicker.

TIP: When you go to do the master cyl, take the steering column out and put the new M6 pedals in place to trace the master shape on the firewall, then drill etc. Shove the master into the hole there a little bit from the engine bay, put the pedals in, line it up flush then use 2 BOLTS not the u bolt inwards from the engine bay. You can actually put your hand right on both holes thru the steering column hole, takes about 45 seconds to install the master cylinder this way. You can get a good fit from autozone etc, M7 bolts like 20mm long, fits perfectly.

 

hey guys was wondering if can tell me what the the black and blue wires going under the car are for in this picture, the other set going under the car are for the reverse lights and when the member in the post did this swap he removed the reverse lockout. so what else is left.

 

PM him and ask, looks funky to me. The purple+white is one of the starter lock outs, from that pic you can't really tell whats connected to what.

 

Just wondering If any Of you Guys that have done the swap Live near Louisville Ky? I might need some help when I do my swap and my be willing too give someone a little bit of money too help me.

It never hurts to give it a shot lol

 

anyone have a t-56 they would like to sell?? i wanna get rid of this auto

 

Ok- I am going the opposing way - from manual to auto

And I am stuck with this- cant find it anywhere but here- and want to know WTF it is and what does it do.. - for some reason I have 3 brake switches 2 white, one blackish greyish, and this thing

 

^^^That's the clutch safety switch. It's allows the car to start only when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way in.

 

yeah, finally figured that out.. - I am now in the process of making my own wiring harness going from the NSS into the car ( b/c im converting to an auto instead of a 6 speed)
So what i was going to do with the posted above is just link those wires from that clutch pedal switch to the yellow and brown from my NSS.

Taking the green from the NSS wiring it over to the backup light harness on the driver side floor rail.Taking the brown from NSS up to Turn BU fuse 2 and tying it in there. Taking the black w/ white linking out to engine block for stated ground in wiring diagram.
I have linked the LT Blu/blk wire from the brake pedal switch to the shift interlock solenoid, from there through the tan/wht wire through the diode and met it w/ the org/blk to the NSS.

And i think thats about it besides hooking the A4 harness up to the computer and the tranny.

 

Did you figure this out yet? I am finishin up an m6 to a4 swap on a 96 formula and I just need to figure out the nss and the little two wire connector to the shifter.

I did the writeup, but i decided to go with a 700r4 instead of a 4L60E..

Its all in there about what I did with the neutral saftey switch. I dont think you need to worry about hooking up the orange/black wire on the NSS or the BTSI solenoid. I did, but I dont think its right. However my car does start and run and shift, so if you dont wire it up and it doesnt shift, let me know and i'll tell you how to wire the BTSI..

Good luck,
Jeff

 

Thanks man! I swapped in an a4 harness too so I wonder if that will effect any of the wiring I have to do?

 

Yeah, i am pretty sure it will, You still have to wire the the NSS to the computer i think...

 

Well this points me in the right direction atleast so ill see what I can do.

 

Anybody know how to get the reverse lights working? I did them6 to a4 with an a4 engine/trans wiring harness and the reverse lights arent coming on?

 

Quote : connect light green and brown into the reverse switch located on the passenger side of the T56 for the reverse lights to work. You can buy the pigtail, or engineer a way to get the wires to hold and be protected. I put the wires in and pinched them into place. The pigtail will run about $50 of unneccesary spending. Polarization does not matter. (again, use solder and heat shrink when you add wire to these).

Im doing an A4 to M6 swap and have a question about the reverse switch. Im using an M6 ECM and M6 harness. will i still need to run the two wires to the back up switch or will It work w/ just the wiring thats there?

thanks,
corey

 

Im fixing to do m6 to a 4l80e parts will be for avaible t56 with 26,000 miles on it, spec 3 clt.(less 600miles) , al flyw, mcloed master c, new inbox slave c, pro 5.0 shifter and stock tranny in good working order.. and 3.5 dshaft with lifetime warranty, 10 yrs on u-joints,

 

Funkybird- Here is the link to the wiring diagram for the reverse lights
