i drove a stick only like two times b4 in my friends car before i bought my car the first day i had it i died out at red lights and what not but within three days i had it down i still getting better but it dont take long to learn just remember the basics like dont change gears without holding clutch but its simple to member that ha ha

and agree too i had an automatic as my first civic and traded not too long ago for a stick its way way better to drive, and i was too noob to go thru with a swap on my other car too... id say trade for a stick.

 

another Ef..good to hear.

I would keep the automatic for now, because sooner or later, you are gunna wanna swap engines. Trust me....it will happen..

just be careful what you buy. i was like you not to long ago and bought all the cool parts (or at least the parts i thought were cool) on ebay, left them on for a year and went back to stock.

Some sites to check out for your ef though..

fourthgenhatch.net - this site has some of the best Tutorials i have seen.

I am planning on switching the transmission at some point to a manual but right now I'm working on smaller projects on the car. I don't want to buy a new car just for the tranny. I'd much rather do the work myself. I like having projects. It makes it more fun once everything is completed.
