Well, that sounds like it should have worked. Just to be sure, you do have pin 33 hooked up on the blue connector, right? The reason I ask is that pin 33 on the green connector should be empty too so may be easy to pick the wrong one. Other than that, try moving that wire to pin 35. That is the clutch position wire, and might need to be used if the automatic stuff has been tuned out of the PCM. That's just a stab in the dark though as I would think 33 should work either way.
