Exclamation 91 civic Auto to Manual!!!! HELP

i have a 91 civic auto. its a dx model. i put a D16y8 into it. already did EVERYTHING for the conversion to work. turns on great and everything. only thing is i want to convert now to Manual transmission. i have no idea where to start with this.

my number one question is HOW MUCH am i looking at for the whole conversion?

and from there i just need to know what parts do i need. i have a mechanic doing it for me just want to get the parts myself.

Any Help would be great. Thanks

You will need:

Manual ECU
Clutch fluid reservoir
Clutch master cylinder
Hard lines
Clutch slave cylinder
5 speed tranny (duh)
Shifter
Shift linkage
Shift boot
Manual pedals (all 3, comes in 2 pieces)
All transmission brackets and mounts from the 5 speed
Manual tranny VSS
Manual startere
Manual tranny flywheel bolts
Clutch
Pressure plate
Flywheel
Minor wire changes

Much of this can be found at a junk yard.

Shifter
Shift linkage
Shift boot
full clutch pedal assembly and swap brake pedals

Manual tranny VSS- his trans is cable speed sensor its the same just hook up your current speed cable to new trans
Manual starter
Manual tranny flywheel bolts
Clutch
Pressure plate
Manual Flywheel
Minor wire changes- to make reverse lights to work also your ignition switch wont allow key to come out (because it has the automatic park safety switch) there is a write up on this

usually around 300$ for parts from junkyard plus labor

Very easy... you need the pedals, shifter and linkage, cable tranny and clutch cable. Since you already converted the car to MPFI i assume you're competent enough to figure out the rest.

the parts list is almost complete. i have relied on my local junkyard for the past few tuning that i have done. although nothing much but still i found the experience better than that of ebay or anything else. and ofcourse a lot cheaper. would be doing major tuning of my 91 civic in a few weeks. hope to put some nice pics or vid here.
