Yes. If its manual car it should automaticly work.

last question. do you have back up lights? other guys are saying its not feesible?

Slickcas · 01-13-2018, 03:35 AM

On the manual cars there is a switch for reverse lights/camera. Just take it off and hook up to a switch on your new shifter. Auto cars I forgot the wire but you just tap in to it to tell the PCM you are in reverse.

I would like to know what wire to tap in to for a auto.

This is one way to do it. There bypassing everything and running them on a relay triggered from my micro switch on the shifter.

But this is not the way for the autos i seen in the past just can’t find it.

That is my car in that thread, this method worked for me just fine. Car was originally an auto car

I’m merely guessing because I’m just not a real gearhead, but is the TH400 because this is a 1/4 Car only? And why wouldn’t 6 speeds be better? Too fragile for big HP?

Bo White · 01-26-2018, 01:54 AM

Mine is a daily. 30K miles or so a year. Manuals are brutal on driveshafts, diffs and axles. Atleast with me behind the wheel they are lol.

I didn't want to break the 6l80 again so I went to the th400 route

I know this is an old thread, but what are you seeing RPM wise on the freeway with the TH400?
