i can help you out, i just did the swap in the summer on my 94 v6. there isnt a whole lot of wiring to deal with, if you look at the wire colours on your main plug in for the tranny(the biggest plug in that goes into where the shifter cable attaches too) just tell me what the wire colours are including if they have red or black stripes on them.

Alright there are 2 larger black wires
one with a yellow strip
one with a red strip

There are 4 smaller wires
1 red with a green strip
2 yellow, with a green strip
1 yellow with a black strip

I have left the automatic shifter plug in place laying to the side. Do I leave the powertrain module pluged in as well correct?
