Re: [DML] DELOREAN AUTO TRANS SWAP

[Jeff Angwin <jeff@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is an extra microswitch behind the throttle spool that the 
automatic equipped car has. The manual equipped car has only one, and 
the automatic equipped car has two. So, make sure you pull the extra 
microswitch from the old engine and install it on the new one.

As I recall, the extra switch closes on full throttle, and causes the 
auto trans to downshift. That way you can go "really fast" when you step 
on it.
