Swap Harness Modification

Trying to work the final interior wiring demons out and its pretty close but i need some help.

99 Z28 originally a M6, being swapped to A4.

Pedals have already been swapped to auto pedals. Will be using a stock 4L60e shifter out of a 01 WS6. PCM and engine harness out of a 00 LS1/A4.

The switches at are my point of interest/trouble.

1. Stop Lamp Switch

Seems to be just plug and play. Same style unit as a M6 car. So we should be good here. If im wrong, let me know

Now, things start to get funky.

2. Clutch override switch
-Black/White & Grey wire 2 pin connector

Common sense says this is a 2 pin connector, to a regular "plunger" switch.
I should be able to just snip the connector off the wires and connect them together. Thus rendering the clutch override switch compressed all the time since the circuit is complete, therefor, itll start ! or crank atleast

3. Neutral Safety Swtich
-Green & Purple/White 2 Pin Connector

Same as the clutch switch no? if its a 2 pin connector, and its just a contact switch, wouldnt just connecting the 2 wires successfully by bass the switch?

HOWEVER, from what ive read, i can just snip the 2 wires and extended them to plug in to the A4 NSS. Pardon my stupidity, but i have not ever had to replace a NSS or mess with one on one of these cars, so were is it? is it on the shifter assembly ? or on the trans it self? Google gives me mixed answers. I have the shifter assemly i planned on used at home in a box, when i leave work ill swing by and open it up. See if theres any plugs or anything on it.

I know a NSS is a "safety" but honestly, you have to be a real buk buk buking idiot to start your automatic car in gear, so unless its needed to pass tech or anything, im okay with just jumping it. But if its something as simple as just extending some wires to a new plug, then may as well.

4. Reverse Lamp Switch
-brown & light green 2 Pin (Possibly, not 100%)

Folktale says that the Reverse lamp switch is on the side of the T56, which leaves me wondering what harness the reverse light switch is actually a part of? Is it on the dash harness or is it on the engine harness? I dont recall seeing any wires dropped down threw the shifter hole, or do they go threw on a grommet somewere?

I assume that on the A4 shifter i have boxed up, there will be some sort of contact switch on it for the Reverse lights. Which would allow me to just plug the existing reverse light switch into that switch and call it a day? Of am i just going to run a toggle for my reverse lights like there a light bar on my jeep???




Like i said earlier, im not really familiar with this stuff cus ive never had to do it. So ill be checking my shifter assembly i have to see if theres any plugs/switches on it. If there is that should answer some of my questions.
