I have a '95 manual that I can look at over the weekend. I've built a Northstar swap, but mine has a stickshift trans.
I don't think anyone has made or distributed a diagram for the finished swap harness.
AIUI, 2nd gear starts are caused by the PCM not having a desired torque input from the EBTCM. I've heard of people fixing the problem by looping the delivered torque output back to the desired torque input, but haven't verified it myself.

I've found that there are a number of things that can out this transmission into limp mode ...low fluid...output speed sensor..ect..ect...both the engine and transmission are crated products. Never even saw a caddy engine bay. Both only have 12.000 miles on them I would appreciate any thing u could offer as far as a finished converted wire harness picture or diagram. Thx Will. I'll send some updated pics soon fellows. These hellcats and demons are in abundance here in Colorado springs they think they own the roads but when I'm done with this project the only thing dodge will be seeing is.... my dust. Lol
