Could use a hand with 5speed swap. Got everything just about finished car won't start. Probably neutral safety switch
I have 97 auto haeness inside.everything from firewall forward is from a 5 speed donor car.Anything I can rig to make work? Pulling dash harness from 99 5speed would fix whole mess..? Anyone got one? Also will sunfire dash bolt up in cavi with no new holes needed?

You can wire up a full 5 speed with an auto harness.
I did it, and mine works fine.
There is a write up on here somewhere, just do a search.
I used it.

If you want to change to the sunfire dash you would have to change the door panels as well because of the closed door fitment

If you're using an auto harness on a manual car, all you need to do is bypass the neutral safety switch. That's what I did in my purple Ecotec-swapped car. As for the Sunfire dash bolting in, I was told you need the metal frame, and I was told you don't. I pulled one regardless. Once that's in, everything should bolt right up with no issues.
