Jumper the clutch petal switch or connect it to the safety switch on the auto trans neutral safety switch.

You'll also need the EEC from a B2 with a automatic transmission. Then need to run two wires to the solenoids in the tranny to the appropriate pins (IIRC 52 and 53) at the EEC so it will shift to OD and so the TC clutch will lock up.

The wiring harness in a body that had a factory manual trans will not have those wires installed.

Adding the two wires is much easier than changing the whole harness.

Just did it myself so if you need more exact info let me know.

<i>these wires are on the neutral safety switch</i>

Are you saying all three of the wires you listed are on the neutral safety switch?

Only 2 wires on that switch and they are the same wire, a switched loop.

I have found this book to be wrong a few times so have to take it with a grain of salt, maybe this will help.
