Im just about to buy a car with a 5sp auto to swap the gearbox and diff over. Nav just had a word with george, and apparently there is an electrical plug on the 5sp box, which mine wouldnt have. Does anyone have any more info on what additional wiring would have to be done? Or if its even...

Has anyone converted a std 5spd auto {circa 1997} to a tip control? I fancy a tip gearbox and understand that it is more or less the same as a 5spd box. Cheers Dave
