M6 to A4 and A4 to M6 Conversion info requested
#421
I was just thinking about this myself. I can't think of any reason why I would need to reflash the entire pcm with a 6 spd's bin. Why wouldn't adjusting the pulses per mile and revolution and then adjusting revolution per mile work?? Of course I'd have to disable all of the auto codes too though.

I do believe that when you do flash it, it automatically sets the Speedo Pulse Rate for the M6 since there is only one setting..

As far as the RPM's dropping, that's easily adjusted in the decay tables. All I'm saying is that there's no difference between the operating system from an M6 and and auto....only adjustments in some tables. Unless I'm totally missing something.

Well since I cant seem to find the part # for the clutch saftey switch harness does anybody have a pic of the clutch saftey switch after the wiring was complete? I know theres only two wires that go to the switch but the switch its self has 4 pins and Im not sure which of the four the two wires would go to. Im just going to not worry about the harness and wire these two wires into the switch in a fabed up way.

The Switch I have on my Clutch Petal has only 2 Pins..it's a black Switch..sits where the Petal hits it on the way down..
I found a Connector under the Carpet where the Drivers Seat would be..it has an orange and a black Wire going to it, looks like it was never used for anything. It looks like it will go into that Switch that I have on my Petals..

Ill look for that plug this afternoon and see if it works. THANKS!

Alright, well mines completely finished. I knocked out the rest of the wiring yesterday. I have one concern though, I hooked the reverse lockout to the brake switch so you have to tap the brakes to go in reverse. It works flawlessly but if im sitting in traffic or etc and keep my foot on the brake (which means the solenoid is going to stay open) is this going to cause any issues with the solenoid having power to it like that for longer periods of time?

I havent tried to pin the PCM yet..

i guess were are all facing the same problem. i PM`ed the_merv a couple of times he was helpfull he said:
"The easiest way to get that lock to work is to power one side, and to run the other side to the PCM RED Connector, Pin#44. If you have a Manual Tune already in the Car, this will work Factory"
but still didn`t get it. i know that 1 wire gose to pin#44 but where dose the other wire go. coz my connector has 2 wires.

I was just asking because if it wasnt going to hurt I was just going to leave mine like it is but I was concerned that the solenoid wouldnt like being in the open position for lon periods of time while the brakes are pushed.

Actually, the way it goes is reverse of what you said, I described it above.
The PCM actually grounds out the Circuit, retracting the Solenoid so you can put it in Reverse.
That is how everything in these cars works..everything is powered and the PCM grounds it out to complete the circuit and to let whatever that circuit is for to function.
I know all this cause I had to research it to put in a Convertor Manual Lockup Switch.. all I had to do was splice in a wire on the Lockup circuit, put a switch on it, and ground it. Turn on the switch, complete the circuit through that splice, and the Convertor locked up.
