I refuse to drive the whole summer again with an auto. I have all the parts, and mechanical know how to do the swap, but I suck at wiring.

Who here wants to do it for me properly so everything works like it should, including the power top.

I can pay you in Molson beer vouchers or cash.

I don’t want to start the swap until I know I have a source to do the wiring properly.

Whats the difference between doing a 5spd swap in a regular s chassis and a vert?

^ Ya, that’s pretty much it. To be honest, it’s probably very easy, I’m just wiring challenged, and would rather pay someone to do it right the first time.

Sounds good. I have to double check I have the parts out and ready to go. I need the tranny wiring from a stick right?

yea you’ll want to keep the plug from the auto trans so you can just plug it into the chassis.

Keep the plug? You mean all the tranny wires? I won’t need any additional wiring?

Sorry for all the dumb questions. This is why I just want to pay someone to deal with it, who just knows what they are doing.

This is a thread about me paying someone to do it for me. The “nobody” remark was for “nobody want my money?”

Oh…

Well then from one asshole to another,

Thank you very much for trying to inform me that no, I do not need the manual tranny harness. I had forgotten that link included the crucial information I was looking for. If RustyS13 can’t help me I’ll just attempt it myself.

Oh, and do you still have that vert top? If so, I’ll take it.
