what you need to do with and auto to manual swap is connect the two wires that lead to the PARK position on the automatic shifter that makes the car think that it in park and will start and then two more to get your keys back but i forgot what position those wires were cause i never wrote it down but here is the wiring part of a write up i did for and auto to manual on a 92-95 civic crossreference the colors to match yours and you can figure it out.


7. Now comes the difficult part of wiring your car so it doesn’t think it’s an automatic anymore. First off once the automatic shifter is removed be sure to save the wire harness that goes to the shifter you will need to connect a few wires on that.
1. The first two wires you need to connect are the two wires that run to the park position on the harness. Those colors are black/red and black/white.
2. The second two wires you need to connect are for the… You need to connect these two in order for you car to give your keys back. Those colors are green/white and black.

3. The third and final thing you need to wire up is the reverse lights. The reverse lights sensor is on the front of tranny and runs to who knows where inside the car. So what you need to do is to follow to where those reverse lights wires go to at the plugs of the wire harness. Once you located what pin position those wires go to pull out those two plugs and added a smaller wire around the pin and shoved it back in. Once in the plugs run the wire through the firewall and to the automatic shifter harness. Once there just connect these two wires to the reverse wires on the automatic wire harness. The reverse lights follow the same colors throughout the harness and even on the plug. These colors are green/black and yellow.
