forchunet Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 My EZ wiring setup is on its way and I went ahead and removed the original engine harness. The way my work space is setup right now I did not have access to the undercarriage of the car (its in the grass). Anyway as I was pulling the harness I couldn't get to the wires that were connected to the transmission so I went ahead and just cutted them (on the battery side). Maybe Im reading my diagrams wrong or something but what were those wires for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letitsnow Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Most likely the neutral safety switch or reverse lights. But those shouldn't be connected to the engine harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Ya know, hindsight being 20/20 you probably should have asked this question before you hacked them out, but that said, how many wires were there? I'm with letitsnow it's probably the reverse and neutural switch. WAIT... it is a manual right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forchunet Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 73 240z. Its one of the first branches after the firewall bundle and it plugs into the transmission. Im just asking because I don't see it in the wiring diagram. It matters little either way because the transmission is being swapped into a 5 speed. Oh and there were three wires I believe. Have to double check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardkid280z Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 yes its a manual. and It matters little either way because the transmission is being swapped into a 5 speed. doesn't make sense to me. 3 wires, well I think that rules out the reverse light and neutral switch They are both 2 wire I believe. I have no idea what wires might be going to an auto tranny, but there should be no other wires going to a 5-speed. You're sure they were connected to/going to/attached to the transmission?

FlatBlack Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 "yes it's a manual" and "Swapped for a 5 Speed" doesn't make sense to me. 240Zs came with a 4 Speed, 5 Speeds were not offered until 77 [or 78?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
