I did the auto to manual conversion on my 1989 240 hatch this weekend. Where the clutch pedal bolts in at there was an orange box that looked like it had a buzzer in it. It wasn't in the car I took the clutch pedal out of but i'm not sure what it controls. Question is :
1. What is it and what does it control?

2. Do I still need it?

 

sounds like your neutral safety switch for the auto tranny.

 

see if it has a sensor going to your brake pedal

 

It just ties into the main harness. I can't really tell where the leads go. Unless someone knows for sure I guess I will just try to start it with it in and out once I get the motor back in.

 

its probably another sensor you just dont need. i know on the s14's there is two sensors on the clutch pedal that you dont use.

 

ascd cancel switch?

 

what the hell is that?

 

It's the Shift Lock Control Unit. You should be able to remove it, but you're going to have to probably run a wire directly from your ignition to the starter in order to bypass it.

 

Nah, that's closer to the steering column, I believe.

 

This is just to the left of the steering column
