    Default EG B18 swap AND auto to 5 speed swap. HELP?!

    My poor lil automatic D15 is dead. I got a good deal on a B18 and a 5 speed and want to do the swap AND keep my a/c.

    BUT, I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME!

    I was recently laid off and need work, BAD! I have an opportunity for a great paying job IF I have reliable transportation to travel all over the south east. I have about 2 weeks to get this car on the road, or I'm gonna miss this job. I already sold the D15 to get a little money for the swap AND bought the swap (before I was laid off), so rebuilding the D15 to save money is not an option.

    PLEASE, don't give me a hard time about researching, guys I have been, and will continue to, while waiting on answers to this thread. I have found info, but nothing specific to swapping the B18 AND 5 speed into an EG that CAME WITH an automatic.
    I'd REALLY appreciate all the info, advice and links I can get!

    My car-
    -1993 Civic DX hatch that came with an automatic and a/c.

    Motor/Transmission-
    -1999 Integra LS B18 motor, complete and freshly rebuilt
    -2000 or 2001 Integra LS 5 speed transmission
    -Motor and trans were recently pulled from an EG hatch (but, it had a 5 speed, originally), so everything that needed to be done to these or their attached components has been done.

    Already have-
    -EG 5 speed to B18 5 speed motor and transmission mounts
    -Shift linkages
    -Manual pedal set, I think from a Civic

    Also-
    -I also have a wrecked 1995 Acura Integra LS automatic, complete with engine, trans, a/c, axles, ECU, etc. that I can pull any parts I need from.

    Please help!
    Again, I'm running out of time and I'm desperate!

    Any little bit you can offer will be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thank you, in advance, for your time and help!

    If you are short on cash and time, do an a complete auto swap and save up for a manual swap in the future.

    can you weld?
    If not get an auto to swap mount on ebay. You do not need AC right now to get the job, so don't worry about getting the Del Sol AC mount yet. Just leave the belt off and put the 2 bolts that line up in.

    As for the swap it's not too bad, just get to work.

    You need some parts still, the hard clutch lines, master and slave cylinder, auto to manual mount,

    I'd put the pedals, clutch lines and linkage in before the motor.

    You can use your Harness and the auto ECu for now.

    I have a great how to on my home pc I can email you for the wiring stuff. Just pm me and I'll send it to ya.
