I have a 1988 Four Winns that used to have a 4.3L OMC. The engine died and my mechanic suggested I replace with a 5.0L GI Volvo. I did and I am now having problems shifting. The 4.3L OMC engine had a "shift interrupt module," that connected to the engine. The new(2000) Volvo 5.0L GI does not have an external shift interrupt module. From what I understand, you can tap into a pin comming of the ECM that you ground to provide shift interrupt. My mechanic "rigged" a micro switch to the shift linkage to accomplish this. It doesn't seem to work. I really have to fight to get it to shift. Does anyone have a better suggestion to accomplish this? Are there any after market shift interrupt switches that I could replace this with? <br /><br />Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
