I've got a 88-91 JDM automatic big axel transmission, and I want to use it on my built A6 (1990 civic EX). The JDM transmission has 2 solenoids as opposed to the US model with only 1. How do I properly hook up this transmission? should I just connect both solenoids to the same wire?


EDIT: I am NOT going to swap for a 5speed, since money is way too tight, and I need the car running ASAP!

lock-up solenoids...I believe jdm and usdm 88 and up civic's all have 2 solenoids. If you engine ecu is not set-up for this tranny then don't use it. you'll need and ecu from 88-91 civic set-up with auto tranny,but then it won't work if your engine is different. change to 88-91 motor or get correct tranny for your year. solenoids cannot be connected together!!

the engine is a 1990 D16A6, the transmission is from a 1990 sohc ZC, I can use my 89 teg ecu, i have done it before with my USDM tranny. I'm going to hold off on using the JDM tranny for now, since I need the car running asap, and i've got 2 USDM auto's laying around as well.
