wiring nightmare

Eric had serious trouble with this.

Basically, on removal, the tranny slipped and broke the connector and cabling. It was thought they would be the same as another car, which was brought over for comparison. Trouble was the colours of the wires were all different for the different model year.

I put the internals of a '96 tranny into a '92 carcase, it worked OK, till it burned the brake band and lost 2 and top. There was a difference in the carcases, the '92 had separate output wires for the speed sensors, and I think the '96 had these in the loom/connector setup.

My guess is, if you had a '92 Workshop manual, and also the '94 update, a tranny specialist worth his/her salt would be able to see what changes were made to the looms. It's not rocket science, just make sure the ECU is getting the output signals it expects from the new set-up.

But to be honest, it is not bucket and spade simple either. If your technician is familiar with this particular tranny [go to a specialist] nothing is impossible.
