Has anyone done this to a Civic? I prefer manual transmissions but the traffic/area I live in makes a clutch a real pain in the rear (it's all flat and there's lots and lots of traffic). I know that it hurts sports car enthusiasts when I say stuff like that, but it's true!

At any rate, my pops has an Audi with an auto-stick in it, and man was that thing ever fun to drive. It's a ridiculous thing for me to be thinking about doing to a little econobox, but if it's possible, I just might try it. Has anyone else attempted such foolishness?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. This forum has been a great place to start learning.

 

Are you asking if you can covert an auto civic to a auto/manual civic? Kinda like audi's shiftronic?

 

Exactly. I don't know the jargon, but it's like a clutchless manual transmission.

 

Umm, I've never heard of the done on a Civic. I think you need a special kind of tranny. My suggestion...


...buy an Audi. lol

 

Hehe, yeah I sorta figured I might hear that - hell, it's worth asking about, anyway.

But yeah, you're probably right, man. Even if I did it, I don't know how dependable it would actually be. I might ask a couple of garages if they've ever done this sort of thing - I'll let you know.

 

Yeah keep me and HCF posted (pun intended).

 

2001 Acura 3.2 CL type S. SAme engine honda uses in formula one racing. it has a Tiptronic trans. so its like your shiftronic or clutchless manual. its fun as hell to drive and damn fast. it has 260 hp stock for cryin out loud. not to mention the interior is really nice. good luck

 

I'm sure it's possible.. the question should be "how much work?" or "how much will it cost?"... anyway, it's definitely a good idea

 

get a Honda Fit sport model like peg did. his has the paddle shifters and he sayz it pwnz.

and besides, fits are a bit easier on the wallet than an audi or an acura. lol.

 

could probably steal one of the manumatics out of a base rsx and run it in any car with a k series swap

for older gens... i don't think there's a direct bolt on method of doing so
