Default Speedometer after conversion help!

Alright, got the car running and everything is working great. Love the proshifted transmission! I've been DD'ing it to work and back, about 35 miles a day. Anyway, only problem I'm having is that my automatic speedometer plug won't fit in my manual tranny. I have a manual tranny plug, I just need to know how to wire it into the automatic wires to make it work. In other words, what do I splice together?

This is on a '98 TA.

Thanks guys!

I think you need the T-56 VSS plug end. Is your PCM programmed for the T-56 now? Is the CAGS & the reverse lock out solenoids hooked up? Reverse light switch also? Do you have the convertion wiring harness in there, I guess you converted it?

I have a t-56 VSS plug end, I just don't know how to splice the existing automatic wires into that plug end. The PCM is still programed for an automatic, I haven't taken it to have it flashed, but everything runs fine. I'll have to ask my buddy who did a lot of the work weather the CAGS and reverse lock out are hooked up.

Thanks for any help.

It is in the A4-M6 sticky. It is the same VSS wires for the auto that need to be plugged back into the T56 (may need to extend the wires a bit). You will need to have your PCM flashed in order for it to read correctly.

Thanks. But that's exactly what I need to know. Which wires to I splice together to extend it far enough to reach? Purple to black....etc, you know what I mean?

Thanks.
