I recently finished my 5 speed swap and in the process I found a green box that was bolted up where the clutch pedal had to go. I just unplugged and removed it in order to place the clutch pedal and I haven't noticed anything different or not working. What is it for and what does it do?


Also, there is a microswitch that engages when I press the gas pedal all the way down. I haven't noticed this on any other 240's. What does this do? Thanks.

bolt the box back on when I did the 5 spd swap I bolted it back on no problem. The switch I have no idea, I'm no help.

a previous owner may have had nos on your car and left the microswitch there from that.

Haha, no doubt. I'll see if I can put it back on. I just wanted to know what it did, that's all. And yes, I can pull the key out of the ignition no problem.

the switch under your accelerator was to control automatic downshift under heavy acceleration

Auto kickdown switch and shift lock control module.

The FSM does actually tell you these things guys if you bother to read it.

Alright, I guess I don't need either.. Thanks man.

I have a copy of the FSM on my computer but it's down now and I'm using my mother's.
