It really isn't too hard. I'm doing one in my four door EK when I get around to starting on building it, however it's going to be easier for me than you because everything in my car is taken apart and out.

Search on Honda-tech.com or google "Auto to manual swap" and you will come across threads that are plentiful with information.

So your price range is therefore the price of the automatic car, plus a manual tranny and all of the other swap parts...?

It's easy if you know what your doing when it comes to doing the tranny swap yourself. If not it won't be cheap, hunting down a descent tranny plus all the parts with it plus paying for labor. I say if you really like the car then go for it, but if not it wouldn't be worth it on an 800 dollar car IMO cause it's not cheap.

yea, or so I thought. I looked everything up and I might as well buy a brand new car lol. I didnt think about all the little things that would have to be done. So bottom line is the car is gonna stay auto!!
