Ok so i started my 5 speed swap on my 97 gle 2 days ago taking my time as to not get frustrated but now i am stuck. Everything is in Trans, new axel, starter battry i pulled the auto computer out, clutch pedal and new brake pedal are in. All the grounds are reconnected but nothing happens. I used HLH0501 link to a 5 speed swap
http://www.dynomagic.com/5spd_conversion.htm
here is the link. i followed every step to a T and i cant even get a crank. only thing i did different was not bypass the neutral switch until now but any way i do it gets me nothing. and to top it all of when i wwent to swap auto to 5 speed ecu i found that the bolt had been snapped off when it was pullled by a friend a month ago and he never told me....... I am stressed and aggervated please some one who has done this swap help b4 i set fire to this car!!!!!!

 

Try bypassing the neutral safety switch.

 

i did i linked them together from the plug on the trans and then tried to bypass them by running a wires o the switch on the clutch

 

turn the key on and try an bypass every thing by jumping the starter off the battery and see if it starts if it does then somewhere with by passing the neutral saftey switch is not right what i mean by this is on the starter there is a signal wire that comes off starter one wire that has a black connector take a jump wire and connect it to the positive post on the battery and the other end to the signal wire make sure the key is on

 

Ok I will try to jump the starter later today also I pulled the dash just to. Make the master cylinder easier to do along with making the pedals easier to install. It is still currently out... is there anything in the dash harness that would keep the car from turning over??

 

The auto trans wire harness probably does not have the wire connector for the clutch pedal interlock switch. The clutch pedal interlock switch and the auto trans park/neutral inhibitor switch do a comparable function, but they are located in different spots.

There is a relay that has to energize for the ignition switch to be connected to the starter solenoid. Supplying ground to engergize the relay is what the auto trans park/neutral switch and the clutch pedal interlock switch does.

 

try jumping the starter first if that WORKS send me a pm with your phone number and ill walk you through from there

 

make a jumper wire for the auto interlock switch and connect, then start! Make sure your fusible links are all connected also!
