2. There is a wire that comes off the steering column that routes under the console that connected to the AOD shifter lockout. I'm assuming this is the connector that doesn't allow shifting out of park unless the key is engaged. What should I do with this wire?

3. There is another 5-wire connector (white plug) that I don't have a clue where to connect. I don't remember seeing it when I unhooked everything, and I'm not sure what to do with it either. The shop manual is useless on calling out connectors or wire colors. I could name the colors if someone has documentation as to what I should do with it?

4. We pulled the clutch cable through the firewall, but aren't sure how it should be routed to the fork. Currently we have it going through the "U" of the motor mount so that it is away from the header. This puts the "U-turn" in the cable centered right next to the oil filter. That would seem to not be right for annoyance reasons. Can someone verify the proper routing of this cable?

5. There seem to be two different connection points on the quadrant side of the pedal assembly. One will obviously house the quadrant. The other has a triangle shaped plastic wedge that is spring loaded. Is this supposed to do something? I don't see its purpose other than maybe keeping the clutch cable from scraping the pedal assembly. Also the quadrant also seems to have a spring with it, but I cant see what to attach the straight leg of the spring to. Anyone help there?

These manuals are way vague.

We got the AOD out, but decided to hold off on the T-5 install part. The clutch I had that I was going to put in we decided didn't have much mileage left on it. Hello Summit? Cha-ching....King Cobra on the way.

All in all it was a good day, but I had hoped to be shifting to work on Monday. They told me that was a pipe-dream though.

2. I would think taping it off would suffice. I'm not sure, but I would think you wouldn't need to do anything with it.

3. Is this 5-wire connector under the dash also? Where exactly does it come out?

4. Mine comes through the firewall and drops down and attaches to a bracket attached to the fenderwell. The bracket is level with the header pipes, and almost as far forward as the coil. From there, it routes down between the oil filter and the motor mount bracket, then curves back to the tranny.

5. Not sure I understand this one completely. Lemme ask you this, what type of aftermarket quadrant are you using?

2. I'm thinking the same, but its a pretty long cable that I'd like to get out of the way, but it doesn't seem to disconnect easily.

3. The 5-wire connector comes off of the main bundle, is about 6-8" long, wrapped in black tape and ends with a white female connector. I seems long enough to connect to the neutral safety switch, but they are both female, so that's not it. Plus I have the neutral safety switch populated with what I believe to be the correct connections anyway.

4. That sounds like what I did. I'm pretty sure we have it mounted on the fenderwall correctly since the hole was already there. Perhaps it will shorten up a bit when we put the fork in and get it attached. It just seems that the cable goes too far towards the front of the car and essentially does its U-turn right in front of the oil filter. Perhaps we aren't doing a good job of estimating where the fork will be. After that does it go sort of under the motor mount at the base of the steering shaft? There is sort of a tunnel under the motor mount. Currently, I have it running through the tunnel, but maybe it should go on the motor side of the tunnel rather than through? The fender side would seem to put it too near the steering shaft.

5. I got the quadrant as a package deal with the tranny. Not positive as to the brand, but I think it's a BBK. It is aluminum, that much I'm sure of. The two arms on the accelerator side of the pedal assembly house this gray plastic triangle gizmo (held onto the pedal assembly by a cotter pin), and the quadrant. The quadrant fits in front (steering wheel side) of the gray plastic gizmo. I am thinking that the load spring on the quadrant should have its straight arm hook to the plastic gizmo somehow. Maybe?

He also had the additional electrical connection on the right side of the clutch pedal (it's actually over next to the quadrant). His was hooked up to something under the console. The connection was mounted on the inner side of the console support. I'll have to look in that area to see if there's something that I can connect it to.

His gray plastic wedge that I was worried about was actually meshed into the clutch quadrant. They both have serated edges that meshed. However the aftermarket quadrants don't have the serated edge, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out.

Send me an email. Maybe we can hook up on the phone and look under our dash's at the same time to figure out what's what.
