LOGIE Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Would I be right in thinking that a TT manual loom only has 2 connectors at the gearbox part of the loom? If so im buggered.. I thought the only difference in the looms were at the ECU end. My loom only has 2 connectors so it wont fit my autobox. Can a autobox part of the engine loom be spliced into a manual loom?

LOGIE Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Alternatively can anyone tell me where I can get a engine loom refurbed?? any hobbyists of auto electricians on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah the manual loom would need to spliced with the auto loom. Easiest would be to get a second hand auto loom which are more available than the manual. If you go down that route Ill have your manual one off you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Here is the loom currently fitted to the engine awaiting transplant, I thought this was an auto loom but I must be wrong as the gearbox part of the loom only has 2 connectors. The loom is fitted to a engine the was a manual 6 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah the connector on the auto box is different. To convert from auto to manual you just chop the connector off and there are 3 or 4 links that you need and 2 you link together. Not heard of anyone going the other way and the connector is completly different. There is still only 2 connectors for the auto box though - 1 is just alot bigger. ECU end is exactly the same though Edited June 24, 2013 by T2 MSW (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 ah right I thought the autobox part of the loom should have approx 5 plugs/connectors inc the auto selection device connector (the large silver/grey connector on the side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 manual and auto are different. you will need an auto loom.... if you have a auto loom, and manual box, you can use it but not the way you need it to work unfortunatly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 I do have a spare auto loom but it has seen better days unfortunately. I think I'll have to cut the autobox part off my spare loom give it some TLC and try and splice it into the manual loom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
