Re: Auto to manual swap
Look to spend at least $1500. I've done it to on my car, it was worth every penny. Of course, there are ways of spending less. It's all about research and buying exactly what you need on the FIRST try. Good luck.

Re: Auto to manual swap
get the pedal setup from a manual integra, that includes the gas,brake and clutch. then u need to get the master cylinder with all of the ling leading up to the slave cylinder. yo will need a 5 spd hydraulic trani and the only other thing than that is to make an adapter plate for your trani because automatic mounts are forward than manual trani mounts. i tokk me two days to do this and the plate was difficult to make so make sure you have everything ready before u start.

Re: Auto to manual swap
you'll also need, at the very least, a shifter, shift linkage, clutch, flywheel & center console/boot.
if you can't find a way to cheat your auto ecu in to thinking it is in 'drive' mode, you will need a manual ecu. if you don't want to look at your auto instrument cluster illuminate the little letters for drive mode, you'll need a manual gauge set.
there are probably other things I haven't listed that people who've done the changeover can add.

Also you will need to wire the revers lights and take the box out of the auto shifter and have it locked in park(to be able to take the key out when off) When it comes to pedals all you really need are the gas and clutch. Also you will need a piece of sheet metal to cover the big hole for the auto shifter and you can either get the manual consol part for the shifter or make a boot for you auto one.
Edit: brake and clutch not gas
