Manual to Auto Conversion GQ
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2009 5:00 pm
Decided that the comp truck needs to go from manual to auto. I've sourced a 93 auto box from a TB42E with all the bits including the full wiring harness, control box, shifter etc.
Problem is the Patrol is a 91 carby. I'm not interested in having the auto operate in Drive - I only need to be able to select 1 or 2 or reverse - it's trailered everywhere and will never go above 40 kph.
So what needs to be conected other than the shifter and the temp sender light (probably go a temp gauge later)?
Does the inhibitor switch need input from the control box for the auto to operate in 1 or 2? I'm after the simplist setup possible.
Or is it easier to obtain the throttle position senor for the carb and wire it up like a non efi (if so, does the control module change - I assume there is a control module for carb autos)
Cheers
