about converting 97 auto to full 5speed

well i have a automatic 97 maxima converted to 5 speed. i want to eliminate the auto engine harness. i just brought a 97 speed engine harness now so what other wiring or harnesses do i need to get that will bypass the neutral switch that i had to splice when i did the original conversion

lol heard tht as well but from a camry 5spd owner . . .

so if you want the feel of the 5spd, quick shifts, with no delay, swap in the correct ecu

SWEET JESUS!! THIS THREAD IS FULL OF FAIL!!!

listen, you can use the auto ecu just fine but you will have codes, you can bypass that by taking out the auto trans computer, the ecu will not cause the car to drive sluggish, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRANSMISSION!!! you guys really need to start reading the how to's and for thoes who have never done the swap, stop trying to coach others.
