Neutral and Reverse wires

[smokeythewhitewagon]

My new 5MT has a grey wiring harness and a brown one.
Which is for R and which is for N?

please give more info... we cant help you otherwise?

Original 5MT was a 98?>
New 5MT is a ??

All the factory service manuals are available in the literature / manual section / my sig. They contain full wiring schematics

My original trans was a 4EAT from the 98.
My new trans is the 5 from a 95. Thanks for reference to wiring schematics.

I recently swapped my 99 legacy gt 4eat to a 5mt from a 96 2.2 legacy. I have those same two connectors from the transmission. I found that the brownish-red one is the neutral safety switch. Right now it's running but only starts if I have a wire run directly from pin 11 to pin 12 on the B15 connector from the firewall. I tried running wires from those two pins to the clutch switch, but it won't start whether the clutch pedal is pressed in or not. I've read a bunch of forums saying that you need a relay between the clutch switch and pins 11 and 12. Why? Also I read that the NSS has to have one wire grounded and the other connected, but connected to what? Pin 12? Pin 11? Why is the one grounded? Does it matter which one is grounded? Also, I'm confused with pins 11 and 12. Do I run a wire from one of those to the NSS and then to the clutch switch and then back to pin 11? Forgive me for being extremely electrical un-savvy. The car runs fine up to about 4k rpms where it feels like the fuel is suddenly cut off (If I'm flooring it). That's my main problem, I'm thinking it's got to have something to do with that wiring. It ran perfect before the swap. I checked and couldn't find anything that still needed to be hooked back up. Thanks!

StatGSR brought this to my attention:


as noted on the linked website, you do not have to swap ecus....
"ECU MT/AT Identifier Info

Subaru does use different ECU's between the MT & AT equipped cars, however there is a MT/AT identifier pin on the ECU's. This pin tells the ECU whether the car has a manual or automatic transmission. The pin can be found at pin 20 on the ECU's B48 connector. The factory manuals state that for AT's the MT/AT pin should read 0v, and the MT's should read 5v. The ECU has a reference voltage that it sends to this pin. If the pin is grounded the voltage will read 0v. That pin is grounded on the automatics. All you have to do is snip the wire going to the MT/AT pin, and the ECU now knows the car has a manual transmission."




This might have something to do with the 4k problem. :smt017
