NSG370 transmission swap CPS issues
Hi guys, wondering if any of you would be able to help me out. I am in the final stages of a transmission swap into my 88 (renix) Cherokee. swapped in an 05 nsg370 6 speed out of a TJ for my peugeot BA10/5. Everything went in nice, Though I am dealing with with some crank position issues. the NSG has the sensor in a different spot than my old one, so I am splicing my old harness to the new sensor. (it has been done successfully before) My issue is than my original harness only has two wires (red and white), while the new sensor has 3 (orange, grey, and blue) Unsure of how to wire it as in all previous examples, both harness had 3 wires, and you just trial matched them up until the jeep fired. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Travis.

I should clarify. the old sensor was in a different location on the bellhousing. (about 10 o clock). New sensor location is 3 o clock and will not fit the old sensor. Keeping the old sensor would require cutting a hole in the new bell housing identical to the old one. I didn't trust my fabrication skills in getting the hole in exactly the right spot.

Not sure how different the renix system is. Feenix Jeep from the posted link summarizes what I'm trying to do. My best guess is that maybe I will need to ground the third wire. Just seeing if anyone has experience with this situation. Won't be able to work on the jeep till the weekend, but I will post my results.

I recently in stalled a nv3550 in mine I just reused renix sensor .The link above says alls sensor does is signal tdc to computer dont matter where its bolted on......
Don't worry about the position being different on the new transmission. The crank position sensor just tells the engine that a piston is at top dead center and is used to time the spark plug firing. You have six pistons, so it doesn't matter which one is in the TDC position.

bolt holes, mount hole and sensor are all different. Here is what they look like
