Where's the Inhibitor Switch?

[datsun79z]

I am completing an auto to 5 speed conversion in a 79 280zx. The A.S.C.D. (cruise) and it's related parts:p have been removed as well. The Nissan Factory manual talks about Inhibitor Relay and Inhibitor Switch. The location of the relay is disclosed, but the Inhibitor Switch location is not talked about.

 

I need to locate, and bypass it. Does anyone know the location? Thanks for any help in advance. This subject is not covered in detail anywhere in this forum.

Hi Mike,

 

I believe the inhibitor switch itself is be bolted to the auto tranny externally, but I'm not sure.

 

You should check with Ruel. He just got done doing nearly the same swap two weeks ago (although the swap was Auto to a T5, not a Nissan 5-speed).

 

If you look in the Haynes manual, the inhibitor switch uses five wires. Ruel did the trial and error method to figure out which ones to jump together so it will start.

 

Good luck! -Hugh
