dagwill Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Hi I am going to manualise my Auto transmission. I cant find any info on the wire colors as they exit the G/box [also which color is A and B] Do i supply those solenoids with 12v to acuate them or are they turned on by supplying them with an earth. ? Car is a 96 Terrano R50 mr3. Thanks for any info, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 According to AT-40 of the '96 manual, solenoid A is blue with a white stripe, B is blue/red, torque converter clutch is green/orange, overrun clutch solenoid is blue/black, line pressure solenoid is green/yellow. If your wire colors don't line up with this, drop the pan and follow the wires. AT-34 shows which solenoid is which on the valve body. All solenoids are switched on the + side. These folks have a rail shifter for the RE4R01A. Not sure if you're looking for a kit or rolling your own, but it might help to see how they've done it.

dagwill Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 On inspection the wires that enter the side of the gearbox, just behind 123NRP are yellow white green blue and black , solid color no stripes. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwill Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 After all i have read i decided that those wires were most likely Blue lockup. Green solenoid A. yellow solenoid B. Spliced into them just before they enter the g/box , found a +ve feed in the cab, several switches and off for a rest drive. Yes colors are correct. So i set off,found a dirt rd for testing, just in case it did something weird like engage 1st gear at 100ks when i hit one of the switches. All was normal for ten minutes then limp mode locked in 3rd. If i liven up the green wire i get 4th and lockup works normally. If i stop and start from standing it wants to take off in 3rd but if i select 1 on the original shift lever i get 2nd , which is ok to take off in. Then move to D and later hit 4th switch. Im on the road for the moment and later will fit a manual shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Figures it's different from US spec. I looked up the wiring for a WD21, which has solid-color wires, but naturally not the same solid colors. Good to hear you figured it out in the end. And yes, not surprising that the trans computer ain't happy with something else controlling the gearbox.
