The final video in the 01m to manual transmission swap series. This covers clutch and transmission installation, hydraulic lines for the clutch, shifter cables, coding the ECU and a couple other things
Just want say "Thanks a million" for the mk4 awp 09a to 02m swap video. Completed the swap on 09/22 and on 10/22, took it for a 2850 mile road trip. Thanks for making these videos.....
You heard the man, 'like and subscribe' to help him out. Even better, write a comment, any comment, for the interaction helps with the math somehow. Andrew, thanks for continuing to put out these videos. They are very well edited, and the content is spot on. I can understand why certain vendors you use come to you for your feedback on their products. Oh, BTW, is there any chance you can turn on CC for those of us with tinnitus? I know you understand that 🤣 Take care. Matt.
Thank you sir! I appreciate the support! For those interested, another step in support is to buy my book! It’s only $8 on Amazon.. Radioman: Twenty-Five Years in the Marine Corps: From Desert Storm to Operation Iraqi Freedom a.co/d/h01k59d. And I did turn on close caption permissions! I totally get it, I’ve got tinnitus too.
I’m doing a 5speed O2J swap next week my question is the speed sensor do I have to do any modifications to it or just automatic plug just plugs back in to manual transmission?
Depends on the automatic you have. If you have an 09A, you have to follow the 09A tiptronic video series and wiring. If you have an 02M then follow this video wiring
Do you have to switch computer from auto to manual before it will start just done my swap but can’t get it to start would like to ask u a couple questions I’d really appreciate it
It should start ok without reprogramming or switching the ECU. If you push in the clutch and turn the key and get nothing, I would suspect the clutch safety switch wiring. If you do the same and turns over but doesn’t start, you may have to prime the engine (this will change by what engine you have). If it starts but immediately dies, then I would suspect something wrong with the immobilizer circuit
Just now got mine to where i can drive it. Its an '04 BEW wagon. I lose throttle at 5mph, either forward or reverse. It will rev easily when sitting still. No CEL or any engine or ABS codes. Do you have any direction for me before i go back and trace ny steps?
@hesty32 yes. And Immo delete. Im wondering if it could have something to do with the Immo delete. I have another ECM from the manual donor car, I may try to throw in there to see if there's a change.
I don’t think the immo defeat is related. The fact that you have no codes is stumping me. If you haven’t, you could try resetting by unhooking the battery. Kinda sounding like accelerator communication issues (fuel pedal).
@hesty32 I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I am in process of testing a couple things at the moment. The TPS itself isn't it as I've installed two other known-good AP's as a hail Mary attempt to isolate the problem. If i end up having to rewire or find my mistake in the swap I'll reply with what I found. I am done with it for the week as of now.
Slight update. I had a total of 3 AP's (accelerator pedals) floating around so swapped them in one at a time to no avail. I unplugged the VSS from the tranny and the car drives atms it should.. but with no speedo obviously. Everything else works and I will revisit the issue later cause I really like my cruise control but for the moment it's good enough.
Unfortunately not. The gasoline engines ecus have to be recoded by EEPROM so you’ll probably have to send it somewhere and pay about $100. My favorite shop is The Dub Shop in Ocala FL. Blake is the guy to talk to. He is pretty quick getting it turned around and shipped back to you
