I assume you already read Legacy777's 5MT swap thread. Forget to wire up the Starter interlock relay or Neutral switch?

The neutral switch just gets tied into the ECU. It should have no effect on the starting.

There is a TCU, you need to pull that TCU. Ask over on the USMB. Someone over there should know where the TCU is.
