I've seen more manual civics with transmission problems than auto's. it could be contributed to idiots racing around and ruining the clutch and and wearing the teeth down, but i'm just going by what i've seen as a mechanic. The manual tranny is a strong unit but it's not bulletproof and needs to be taken care of as well. you go with anything more than 8-9lbs. of boost and you're gonna start finding weak links. You guys have got to stop being so damn negative, just cuz you wouldn't do it doesn't mean it can't be done.

A forced induction civic would be better with a M/T and thats a known fact, but don't flame a guy for trying. i suppose if thats the wayit is i should tell you to swap out your motor for a B-series cuz the D-series is weak, but i don't want to cuz i like the D-series. It's bad enough there are people bad-mouthing civic's, lets not start turning on each other.
