auto to manual swap

[efhatch77]

i just got a 1991 honda civic lx hatchback that i want to switch from automatic to a manual. what do i need and how do i do this job?

A. Sell it.
B. Buy a manual Civic.
C. Done.

I'm not even kidding, the cars are so cheap it just seems like a waste of time, at least do a complete engine swap or SOMETHING to make it worth the time and money.

Its pretty easy to swap, you'll need the trans, m/t mounts, clutch cable, m/t pedal assy, change some wiring, and get a m/t ecu if you dont want a CEL. Also a m/t cluster if you dont want the prndl lights.

The hardest part is finiding all the stuff for it. Other than that, try to find a write-up of some sort.

I did this swap in like 30 minutes with only a couple hand tools to boot .. it really isnt that hard... epic facepalm.

you swapped a transmission, pressure plate, flywheel, busted out the plate for the linkage to fit, changed the pedal assy, installed linkage and clutch cable, changed ECU, and jumped neutral safety switch wiring in 30 mins?

Yup :)

Yup :)

Yeah and I drive an F40.

i already got most of the parts. just missing the pedal assembly. i need to know exactly how to do the job.

lol my sentiments exactly every time I've done auto to manual it takes me at least 3+ hours maybe longer depending on the car

I'm a damn good mechanic and it would take me about half a day with a lift. So im sure hes full of it. I've already deleted about 5 of his posts he made last night, this troll fixin to get banned lol.

Power tools are your best friend and they still cant make it a 30 min job. Pulling the trans may take 30 mins but as far as rerouting everything, 3-4 hours is a round about guesstimate. Ive done 3 swaps and I cant beat 2 hours. Lol. Once you get the manual trans in, everything else goes together like a puzzle. cable trans or hydro?
