ok so i have bought a 4 speed auto with wiring computer radiator everything needed just wondering if anyone can help me with the wiring side as im a noob lol i havent got any pics yet as i havent picked up the box ( on friday) has anyone done this swap before? its a vitara 4 speed onto a vitara carby motor..

all help appreciated thanks!

Why the 4 speed? I'm not even sure this mate is possible?

[tonka_tuff]

cause it has overdrive and has the 4th gear should cope with 31's easier.. heard a couple people have done it and 2 stroker says it can be done.. so hope so.. haha i think ive gotta wire up some cables to the vss or something but as i said im a noob at wiring..

I am pretty good with wiring and certainly there is nothing in a 1.6 vit that scares me but I wouldn't be keen on doing this to an efi vit, its not going to work on a carby at all, there are signals the trans ecu are looking for from the engine ecu that you don't have and dont have any way to replicate.

your only way out is to look at one of them aftermarket shift controllers that turn it into a manual shift job

I'm doubtful you will find a solution to the wiring side of things but if you do i also would be very interested in the same setup in mine

well that sucks.. owell ill guess ill be chasing another good manual box and transfer then.. ha thanks guys! wish it could be done though.. would be so awesome!!

Well don't just give up yet. Pm 2stroker and do some asking of him.

manual controlled 4 speed auto = win. that's whats going in my next truck.

[sogone]

And how are you achieving that?

Don't give up sooo quick! Anything can be solved and made to work.

The main AW4 auto TCM requirements are:

-Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) [Have a look at mine or Damo's threads on how to make one to suit you speedo cluster]
-Throttle position sensor (TPS) [Im sure you could scab one from the wreckers and adapt it to the throttle shaft on your carby]
-Engine coolant sensor (ECT) [You could find another from the wreckers and tap it into the manifold next to your sender for the temp gauge]

Sensor wise its doable. The other thing you will require is a circuit to read and interpret the sensor outputs to suit the TCM. This is what I'm currently working on for a few board members and will end up with a solution not too far away.

Ps make sure you get the TCM plug with it!

I'm holding my breath waiting for you to do this, I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you pull this off. I'll be ready with the cash if you do

Mega squirt do an I/O board that's been used as a trans controller with great success, but if you're not confident with wiring I think it would be a nightmare for you.....

Ill be probing a vit out satde. So I'll be able to get all the info out I need to sort this thing out.

This is what I was talking about when I said it could be done, there are some very smart people playing with this at the moment and I am confident they will get this to work.
