Hey guys… I was wondering I bought my car for $3,000 and i want to convert it to stick… U think it’s worth it…and roughly how much do u think it will cost… ?
Thanks guys
once u change ur car to stick ull love it , i have a 93 DA i changed it over and its so much faster and u get to feel the torque thats really in the ls
Torque in a B18? WTF is that :giggle:
Hell yes its worth it. You can get everything you need for around $500 on the cheap side. But you might as well get a lightweight flywheel and clutch while you are at it. There are a few differant transmissions you can get. This topic has been covered numerious times so do some searching on this board for all the info you need.
search for auto manual conversion 
If you just bought your car and haven’t done any permant mods(i.e. body work, engine swap, custom interior gauges, etc.) You’d probaly be better off trading it in on a manual integra. It would be a lot less troublesome then swaping. If you are a good welder, or know one, or want to piss away money, then the swap is a good idea.
If you have already done stuff to the car that you can’t change, then the swap is worth it. On the other hand, if you are building it with the chance of boost, or wanting to go extremely fast, like into the 9’s, the auto would be a better tranny.

WTF does welding have to do with changing a transmission? :shrug:
cut the old automatic transmission mounting points, take one off of a manual chassis. then weld it on. i’ve seen people do that, and seen people weld those parts into other cars to mount engines…
Well…my good man, a manual car and an auto car have different tunnels in them. You have to cut the tunnel out of an manual car and weld it in your auto car. Your you can butcher your car up and say “OH WELL…IT’S COVERED IN PLASTIC SO NO ONE WILL SEE”. You also have to fab up mounts for the petal assymbly.
I’m curious because you talk as if you have done it, yet don’t know anything about it…please do explain for me.
pedal assembly is direct bolton…
hole needs to be drilled for the clutch cable aswell…
integrex - are you refering to me?
Listen you fag, both tegboi and I have done the swap so shut the fuck up. It can easily be done WELL without even knowing what welding is. Go suck off an exhaust pipe.
automatic drag racers are pretty much best for keeping constistant times…
91acuraintegra - when i first got my integra, it was bought for $3500, then i still did everything to it… it all depends if you really want it to be a manual, or if you’d rather just get another one… all on personal preference. i, myself, now have gotten another manual chassis now…
Lets see I’ve never done a 5 speed swap on this exact chassis, but i have done it on an 87 Accord, 89 Integra, and a 91 CRX all without welding a single piece. And I’m damn sure, along with a couple other guys in this thread, that no welding is required. The only swap I had to do welding with was with 2 different 2.2 fifth gen Civics, and that was just so the cables for the shifter would not bind, minor work really. Cut out a square foot section, fabbed a new one, welded it back in place, painted it and covered it all up. I had to cut off a couple of inches off the tranny mount so the old schook HKS mount would fit, big whoop. The Place mount didn’t even require that. Point being, you are an idiot. :loser:
Ive done it as well. Pretty easy. The passenger mount needs to be shimmed or you can use the frame mount from a manual. That’s what I did.
Pretty easy.
This site is pretty much turning to Honda-Tech… and Im not talking about great tech and awesomely documented builds. But, the flaming and shit. I used to love this website, now when I come to it… Im afraid to click on any threads…
Everyone needs to calm down and allow this site to go back to what it used to be.

About your swap, it’s worth it. I think. Especially if you plan on building. Auto’s especially from a Honda suck… in general. So yes, its worth it.
tegboi-no I was referring to ohioteg
RacingPoverty-I will gladly suck on your exhaust pipe. I love you.
ohioteg- I can’t make fun of you becuase you listed the one car that only true men work on…CRX.
if you drive a manual your cool if u drive an auto ur not cool, i love you, have my children
EG’s suck…
