well im hopin u electrically gifted guys can help me out...i know joel will probably chime in so heres the question...did my 5speed swap this fall..and as some said the computer didnt like it...i picked up a T4MO computer for cheap and im gonna hook it up...my question is..its not just a plug n go is it?..i mean i know the connector should hook up fine..but right now its set up to still run the starter relay circuit thru the range sensor for the auto..i dont actually have the clutch safety switch wired up...meanin i can start it in gear..so when i put the new computer in am i going to have to wire up the clutch switch? and will that render my ranger sensor, which at the moment is plugged in and wired out of the way, useless? i wont be doin mine till next spring when i get the car out...but im doin my friends this weekend and id like to know what i have to do to get his done cuz he has a T4MO comptuer to try too..so any answers help alot thanks

The system ID's load in many ways, the transmission type + its state (in-neutral/in-gear) is one of the inputs the system uses in its load calculations (VSS, TPS rate of change, MAF are other examples).........Since the SN95 is "Load Based" in it's strategy, and you don't have an aftermarket tuner to change the "Transmission Load Type" scalar to cancel the effect of having the neutral switch in a permanent "in-neutral" condition, you need to wire a clutch pedal switch so the system reacts to the transmission status change.

This is why I recommend going with an aftermarket tuner in SN95 setups (Tweecer, Moates, etc), you don't have to mess with the wiring + you gain full control of the tuning for future upgrades + it won't limit the alternatives to select from in other components (camshafts, intakes, etc). I'm working on a SC SN95 with a C6 transmission (it was AODE originally), Comp 2040 cam, Performer heads, Holley lower intake and Cartech upper....... and we were able to set the system to work with a permanent "in-neutral" condition (jumper wire in MLP connector) w/out affecting load calculations, idle control, etc.
