In the other connector, it appears at least one wire changes color when between m/t and a/t. Is it possible to get the same digram for that plug as well?
Also, Is it possible to get the same document you are using? I appreciate your help, i don't want to bombard you with a thousand questions if the info is available to look it up. If not, hopefully it won't be a thousand questions.

Email me here - I can get any diagram you want - [email protected]

There used to be free links to diagrams on the internet. I doubt they still exist. I'd recommend going and reading some of the other write-ups on the AT to MT conversion. I believe the manual is a 2 wire VSS (vehicle speed sensor) vs the AT's 3 wire and you can basically snip off the AT one and only need two of the wires.

Yes, there are links and even interactive stuff that requires emulating windows Vista to operate. Really it's the same as the pdf downloads. Nothing has a usable diagram. If one of the books has more than rough idea I would buy one. What you're using though has the connector breakout and clickable links for them. I don't need free, what I need is something useful. Can you share the name of what you have and maybe a hint to where one could hunt them down?
I have gone through the m/t swap threads on many forums. All I could find kept the auto harness and computer. They tricked the.computer and ran with whatever faults that causes. In hindsight, I totally get it though. I've done this to civics and bmws in the past. This is the first time the wiring has stumped me and there doesn't appear to be any info that is searchable. That also included reading threads back as far as 2005 on the subject.
Just a complete line drawing of the entire car for both transmissions with wire colors and some reliability would work fine. That connector break out thing would be a cool bonus though. Can you provide the diagrams?
Again thank you for your help. The delayed response was due to holiday and chasing wires through harness for destinations. One wire had 3 endpoints. Still does actually. I like this car but they could have pretended they knew what Civic is. The BMW swap wiring changes involve one wire connector and your done. Ok I'm done whining. Thank you again

I work at a dealership so I'm using the diagrams provided to us on Honda's service side of things. Unfortunately I can't link it or share login information. If you can tell me what exactly you need, I can look it up no problem. Otherwise, I'd say try hunting down a Chiltons or Haynes manual. May have it in those also.

Thank you for the answer. I figured it woukd be like the iPhone map software. Have the haynes. It's not a very useful diagram. Which is odd for them. I pulled the right side engine bay and dash harness out of the donor vehicle and spent the last week tracing each wire from those connectors to to where they go on the manual harness and then matched it to wires in the auto car. Then testing to make sure one end goes where it should. It did mean that the wire colors are not the same on both sides of the 7 wire connector but they appear to go to the correct junction as far as I could follow them. The VSS pin on the ecu has continuity to connection on the engine even though the wire it would use doesn't exist on the auto harness
I really wish i had a specific diagram to ask for. What is needed is a complete diagram of the the front for both versions.
Actually i think do know some specific areas. I could use a pinout diagram of the ecu connectors to verify where they go. The gauge cluster connections for both as well. I think I can trace them to. Make sure they're right but it would be nice to know where they are headed. I can also work out the clutch wiring with those. And this last one is more mistake recovery. I forgot to mark the two black on green wires on the engine side of that . Wire plug. I could use that image with where they end up so I can make the odds better than 50/50. One turned to a blue or white wire there as well.
I'm waiting on a knock sensor and then i get finally turn the key and see what responds. Thank you again for your help. You like dinosaurs?
