Hey all. I'm not very mechanic smart, so I was wondering if it would be possible/how much it would cost to do a transmission swap into my 1993 Honda Civic EX. Right now I have an automatic transmission, and have been wanting a manual for a while. The engine is in very good condition, and has about 68,000 miles on it. Rather than selling it, I was thinking maybe I might be able to swap it. If more info is needed, let me know.

Thanks for helping

 

some ppl will tell you that its not worth it...if u had someone else do it and u were willing to pay i guess it would be fine...a guy i know told me he would do mine for 1200...so maybe around there...im plaining on doing my own once i get the money to get everythign needed

 

Any idea on a price range for the parts? My uncle is a mechanic and would be able to help me on putting it in, and my bro like worships civics and stuff, so he knows a lot about internals and stuff... so I wouldnt have a problem with the actuall swap, but I was wondering how much it would cost for the parts.

Thanks

 

hey i did my own swap but im a pretty mechanical guy i have a 96 civic ex i had a auto u need the clutch and gas pedals with the master cylinder and transmission lines from an eg which is your year car the shift linkage a manual ecu from a ex manual only because ex is vtec and a good tranny and clutch most of this you can get cheap at a junk yard i paid 30 for my pedals and lines from the junk yard 100 for an exedy clutch 80 for my ecu and 450 for my tranny so 660 but the shop wanted to charge me 1500 to install and parts
