Manaul to Auto Conversion Wiring HELP Please
Does anyone know who switched over from manual to auto on a 2002 Z06 C5. I need help as far as what wires that I need to tap into and run and shift properly. Its a race car and no need for reverse lights or brake pedal to put in gear. Do i Need to run a netural safety switch if I use a race ratchet shifter?????
Thanks to everyone who can help me.... Please lots of detail or pictures

What year car, model, etc ... Did you use an A4 harness ?
To get the car to crank (start) you'll need to run the purple & yellow wire from the clutch safety switch to the rear selector switch unless you don't care and then you can just connect the two together and the car will start anytime the key is turned, (i.e. no safety)

thank you for your help I dont care if the car can start anytime key is turned so all connect them thanks. the car is an 02 I have the 02 wiring harness . I dont need the car to be in park to start or any of that safty stuff I have no problem shifting the car manualy. I just need to know if I can just not run the neutral safty switch and do I need to do any wiring in the car?

So by jumping them together you eliminate the park safety switch. Car should fire right up.
THe work that is needed (wiring) is for the PCM to control the tranny. Based on your purpose you might want to go with a stand alone controller box. It will probably save you a lot of headache.
