im thinking about doing a transmittion swap on my 99 civic but im not sure if its worth it (going from auto to manual).
any clue to what the total cost is?

 

it's transmission lol

anyway, yeah, transmission swaps are worth it IMO... it'll set you back $1k-$2k depending on where you find the parts, what clutch you get, etc.

 

haha yea never was to good at spelling lol
thanks tho
thank god i work at a body shop so everythings gunna be way cheaper.

 

i swaped mine last night and i gouldnt be happier. and i did mine for right around 500

 

I am an AUTO fanatic when it comes to putting down the power. I might be a minority in this forum but that is how I feel. If your running a boosted engine, there really isn't anything better (more consistant) thanan Auto. If your worried about putting the power to the ground, I used IPT (Import Performance Transmission) for my DSM, but there has to be someone out there that builds Auto Honda's.
I agree with all the guys you know its funner to drive a manual, bla bla bla, but when it comes down to putting the power down, I would choose an auto everytime. Every play the NFS Carbon games? You know how hard it is to get that "perferct launch" on those drags? Well its that way every time when you own a manual, one time you dump it and spin, the next you lug it, the next you hit it. EVERY time you launch with a "built" Auto you will hit your marks, its just that simple. Press the break, press the gas, let the break go and your gone. This is just my opinion, as I have stated before I am the guy that likes to blow your doors off while eating a big mac, sipping my coke, and waving to you as I go by!
