Going through with the swap, Suggestions?
Ight guys so I have decided to go through with the auto to manual swap on my 2000 Acura Integra LS.
I've done all kinds of research and all that good stuff, and YES i do know that I should just sell my car and get a manual, so if thats what you have to say then stay off my thread.
I am thinking it is going to be a fun summer project which is why I am doing it. I enjoy working on my car so selling it is the easy way out.
Basically I am looking for any suggestions about this swap and I want to hear some stories from people who have done it. The easiest/fastests way, things to look out for, places to get the parts for cheap, etc...
Preferably just post on the thread not trying to have my inbox blow up. Thanks

Re: Going through with the swap, Suggestions?
Not that easy no one wants an automatic for the price that I am trying to sell it for. I would rather save the money and swap it. It wont take me long to save the money and I have access to a shop that has endless tools whenever I would like. Plus I would rather say I did it myself than say I bought it from someone. Just my personality

Why not do an engine swap? I think taking the car apart just for the gain of it being a manual (nothing performance related) is lame.

Well I am thinking about doing that to but I have done that before, so I dont really need any advice on it. And also I am thinking about doing that next summer. Im in college yo, dont have money like that to go just buy a new tranny and motor. 1 step at a time. Cant get the new motor until the car is a manual. Having an automaitc GSR would be even more lame.

Re: Going through with the swap, Suggestions?
i have done 10 of them and the one i daily. all you have to do is bolt the clutch pedal assembly and clutch resevoir to the holes that are already there. un bolt the brake pedal and put in the smaller 5 spd brake pedal.run you a clutch line from resevoir to slave cylinder. also you need to buy the auto to manual top tranny bracket and rear t bracket . Once you have all the parts wont take but an hour or so. when you remove the automatic shifter and the plate it bolts to you will have the holes where youre shift linkages bolt to.
