i have a 98' civic EX--automatic--, i was wonderin what is the process of getting it to a manuel transmission and how much would it cost and would the cost be to much

 

its gonna take time and some sweet. its probably gona cost around a G or more. sine you have a d-series motor your gonna have to get a hydralic d-series tranny, pedals, shiftlinkage, the clutch, flyweel, and pressue plate, axles, motor mount for tranny and some electrical stuff.

 

if your gonna do it yourself [sm=signs003.gif] --but if your gonna pay sombody it might be easyer to sell what u got & turn around buy a 5sp[sm=gears.gif]

 

i was told tranny swaps are easy, here you make it sound like its a war battle

 

ive heard all honda motors are made for 5 speeds.......and that all the mounting holes are already drilled.......is this true

 

yes all holes shoudl be there. But you will need all the things stated but I think the axles may be the same. Not sure on that though, hafta check part numbers.

One thing to remeber is when you pull out the old shifter make sure it is in park and then lock all cables in place cause if that dumb little auto cable gear sensor thingy slips out you wont be able to take your key out of the ignition

 

tranny swaps are easy when you know what your doing and you've done it. if your new at it, its a pain in the ***.
