Transmission conversion
 
So I at the beginning of last summer, I was handed down my brothers 96 Acura Integra SE. I like it a lot, but, alas it is not manual, its a silly automatic. It bugs me so much to know if it was simply manual I could make a decent car out of it. But it just sits there, like a slowly dying dog. You cant teach it anything knew. So is there any hope of converting the transmission from auto to manual?

Not by myself no. But my brother (a.k.a. Snarf) told me it wasnt so difficult.

There's a search button... I can't do everything for you. This needs to be a learning experience or you'll get nothing out of it.

You just have to buy a bunch of parts and swap everything over. Not hard, but a pain in the ass though. You'll be best off getting everything you need from a junked car, except the transmission because that probably won't still be there.

Yeah, I espeicialy since the transmissions on my kind of Integra is weak, I can already feel it about to go. When I step on the gas more then usualy it will take a few seconds to actualy start excelerating, then theres a large BURST of torque and it starts to go. Nothing about that seems healthy to me.
