That sounds scarily accurate! Maybe I should stick to automatics after all.
I’ve heard about folks making custom harnesses to avoid issues. It’s a lot of work, but worth it if you want control!

Has anyone successfully wired a manual shift setup for their 4L60E? I’m looking for diagrams and tips!
I did the swap last year! You need to focus on the neutral safety switch wiring; it can be tricky.

Totally agree! Can you explain how you bypassed it without issues?
You can wire the neutral safety switch directly into the manual selector. Just make sure to test everything first before starting the engine.
Great advice! Any other wiring pitfalls we should watch for?
Common pitfalls include mixing up the signals for the shift solenoids. It leads to all sorts of weird shifting behavior!
How did you resolve that? I want to avoid that chaos.

Using a multimeter to check your connections really helps! Also, double-check the color codes of your wires.
That’s a good call! What if someone mixes up the wires before noticing?
If you mix wires, it can be a real headache. Just make sure to label everything as you go; it saves you time in the troubleshooting phase!

That’s solid advice! Maybe I should tattoo them on my arm? Just kidding!
Haha! Maybe not tattoos, but keeping a wiring diagram handy isn’t a bad idea. Anyone have a recommended one?
