transmission change

[PoleMan14]

ok i have a 98 civic with automatic trans :pukey and would like to make it manual....how much would that cost? and what could i sell the auto trans for? thanks

it's not worth your trouble. if you want a stick, trade your car for a stick. the hassle of getting it changed over, is almost the price of and engine swap.

:no: thats what i was hoping you wouldnt say....thanks for help

If he gets and engine and trans swap at the same time wouldnt taht work alot better? If he wants to go that route

Auto is so boring, I would love having manual but I guess I can't afford it ;(

Don't sweat it. Manuals aren't all they're cracked up to be. Autos are great in traffic and driving around town. Just stick (no pun intended ;) ) with it. Autos can be jsut as fast as manuals if not faster......

hey if it means anything i have an auto civic. St Louis is hell for driving a stick in anyway. Its your car if you want to put some $$$ into go for it whether its auto or manual. Your auto can be just as nice as any manual out there. IMO:cool:

yeah... I've got an Automatic too and I know what your going through. But it's like everyone's said.. esp. w/Honda-- the Auto tranny's are nice and switching is Sooo expensive.. your $$ could be better spend elsewhere
