AT to MT swap, making cruise work

[Benfolio]

I thought I saw a thread here on how to do it but can't find it, and AllData is down so I can't look at wiring diagrams (I LOVE DIAGRAMS!!!).

Got a long ride coming up next week and wanted to make my cruise cruise on my cruise.

Gonna tackle it tomorrow.

Not saying I know the exact answer for your problem, but I found that an 4eat cruise control computer would light the button up but wouldn't actually engage on my 5mt, so I held out for a 5mt-specific one, which worked perfectly. Did you put a switch on your new clutch peddle? You need one. The brake peddle switch can come from your automatic pedal box. My car was prewired for all the CC switches.

Something I remember people telling me about 4eat-5mt swaps is that you still need the TCU plugged in for ABS and Cruise, but my memory could be faulty. :smile: I've never done that swap myself, just helped friends fit the tranny and pedal box.

You need a MT ECU to get rid of the CEL and a MT ABS Comp if you want ABS.

The TCU can be completely removed.

The cruise can be made to work without switching to a MT Cruise Comp.

PERFECT! Thanks! I got AllData working and found that yeah, just pin 3 and 4 are AT specific, and as long as they are out of the equation, it should work. Will try today.
Don't care if it revs up if I push the clutch in, I always disengage the cruise with the brake or the switch anyways.

UPDATE:

Okay, so when I swapped the car, the cruise didn't work. Theeeen one day I decided I wanted to make it PROPER and NOT start without the clutch pushed in, so I wired the clutch switch to the neutral safety switch circuit.

Never thought to try the cruise after that, but that's all it took to get it working.

Good thing I checked before I started cutting wires and whatnot.... :lol:
