I went an found the write up you did on this topic the picture i'm posting of the external switch that you are referring to is exactly what the original one looks like that was on my original 98 trans. When I swapped the new trans I used the original 98 one. So do I need to still do the splicing and stuff? None of the wiring was changed so i'm sorta unsure. I also tried rowing through the gears and it did not do anything. Also I should mention. The shifter is broken inside the car and I can row through the gears without turning the key on from off and I do not need to depress the button to shift either.
