There's really no need to get a new harness, the wiring is easier than swapping out the harness from what I can tell. The whole point of flashing the ecu is to make it basically have a 6m/t brain. So it really isn't any easier to swap the harness and keep the 5a/t. Imho that would be kind of dumb because harnesses could be a few hundred bucks unless you have a donor, and it's really just a single wire that needs to be done. But to each their own.

-----> i need pics of the wiring please
another question that's been in my head for 3 days now:
-i want to get a 6mt speedometer and make the shift like work.
-will the flash be enough to make it work or do i need a 6mt wiring harness?
-do i also need 6mt gauges or the flash will enable me to set the desired rpm for the shift light with my 5AT gauges?

You are going to need to remove the area around the battery cover for the wiring. Here are pictures.
you are going to need to splice the grey and red wire in the bottom right plug on the IMPD and jump it to the ignition fuse by the battery.
its the small red wire going from the pink ignition fuse to the bottom right of the IMPD. lmk if you guys have any questions.

What you want is going to cost you way too much. Do it this way. The transmission and re-flash combined are expensive enough, the rest makes no difference to the car.

take a close look at the following pictures. You will need the nut that is welded to the crossmember to face the back of the car[pic1]. You will not be using that nut since that is for the AT configuration. Cut out the bracket inside the crossmember and slide the bolt through the other hole (drivers side)[pic1]. Then just take a nut that fits and use it to secure the bolt to the trans mount [pic2].

You have to modify it before you try to install it or the holes will not line up with the chassis.

Hey everyone, I was in the middle of doin my 6mt swap. I had a 6mt engine harness I was swapping because I believe I have a few bad spots in my 5at harness. When plugging up everything I found the harness has different upstream o2 pigtails. They are only 4 wire plugs not the 6 wire wideband plugs. Is there any way to wire it to the 6 wire plug?
