This is the problem I am having. I have an 89 LX 5.0 hatch that was originally a 5 speed and I took the 5 speed out of my 92 LX 5.0 coupe and installed it the other day. I hooked all the wires back up and reinstalled everything the same as when I took it out and now the car won't start unless you jump the starter solenoid. I double checked the wire hookups on the trans and all the connections and they all seem to be correct. Also the reverse lights are on all the time now whether it is in reverse, neutral, or any other gear. The only other thing I changed when I did the transmission is that a friend of mine was having problems with his blower car and we thought it was his computer and it was an automatic computer but his car didn't run any different afterward so I wouldn't think that would be it but who knows. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
