Hello Listers,
After reviewing the 78 Spits electrical schematic from the shop manual
and starring at my O/D tranny, wiring harness and gear shift switch wire
this weekend, I'm trying to get answers to a couple of questions.
- Does the metal gearshift knob (with the built in switch) come off so I
can get the console gearshift boot and carpet back in place? After
initially playing around with it didn't yield any results I thought I'd
ask the folks on the list before I started applying a lot of elbow
grease trying to get it off.
- Does it matter which connector the O/D wiring harness connects to on
the O/D inhibitor switch, which sits on top of the tranny? Is there a
definite polarity that has to be maintained. The same questions goes
for the wires coming from the O/D switch in the gear shift knob. In
other words is there a right way and wrong way to connect these switches
- Does anyone have a picture of a wired up O/D tranny (single rail 1978
Spit) that you could share. I'm thinking that I understand how the
wiring harness is supposed to be connected but I sure would like to see
what the real thing looks like. The shop manuals just don't provide
that kind of detail.
- Is there some kind of special connector that connects up to the O/D
switch in the gear shift knob? I've got the two wires and the switch
but the contact points don't appear to be easily accessible, almost as
if I'm missing some small piece.
Thx in advance for everyone's help. I know there's a lot of questions
here but I'm just concerned I'll screw up wiring the O/D for lack of
good documentation. The electrical schematic are helpful but don't
specify which of the two connectors attach to what colored wires.
Thx - mike chmura
