    do you know how to drive a manual?
    if the answer is no do a tranny swap with d16 still in it.

    its not to bad do it with the engine you have in now you would need a trans,flywheel,clutch set, clutch and brake pedal"ek specific", rear mount trans mount, linkage, clutch mastercyl, clutch line, also a 5 speed ecu. but it can be done. and its really not to bad.

    you either need a mount kit ... or you need a welder ... u can weld on a tranny mount or you can buy a kit that i think bolts to the frame .... my friend jus welded a motor mount to where the tranny was suppose to go an did it that way ,, but if your concerened about the way it looks .. then buy a mount kit from hasport .

    dayum man.. make a real poll.. f.uck... just get a new car that stick.. aint no point in spending money to swap in and out shyt when you can get it already available for your ass.. think finacially.. if you cant afford.. get a job or get more money.. if you can afford.. then get another car thats stick or just swap it but the hassle is on you


    yeahhhhhh you likeeeee when she does thattttttt

    buy a wrecked one and swap it out, otherwise if ur going to buy everything seperatly its not worth it. i know somebody who did a auto to manual swap in a 1995 accord and he paid 2800, with labor. thats a big rip off. lol (just my opinion)
