Aftermarket Tranny Mount or reweld oem manual tranny mount

There's a few places in NYC that can do that swap for you if you feel that it's a bit too much work.

I'm not sure if you're swapping the motor but if so, most of this stuff, you should get with the motor if you buy from a reputable place. I did this conversion myself and it cost me about $75 for the pedal box assemblies(clutch, gas, brake) and the clutch master cylinder with the clutch hard lines from importautosalvage.com. You'll need to do some stuff to the sub harness that plugs into the automatics gear selector (plastic slider with a bunch of wires on it) to get your car to start, be able to take the key out of the ignition, get reverse lights to work, etc but it's not hard at all. If you have cruise and want to keep it make sure you get a gas pedal equiped for cruise... I didn't and ended up keeping my autos gas/brake assembly and just swapped the brake pedal since that's the only real difference.

I document everything I do with step by step pics so if you need to see the pics let me know. But basically you take the two wires from the park position (big black/red & black/white wires) and short them so that you will be able to start and remove keys. Then you take the wires from the reverse position (green/yellow & green I believe) that are on the center of the slider and run them to your reverse sensor wires on the tranny for reverse lights to work. I actually traced my reverse sensor wires from the tranny back to the fire wall and into the cab by the fuses and spliced my wires there. (you can find toning devices at home depot that make it really easy to trace wires. One devise goes at one end of the wires and sends a tone down the line then you use a wand at the other end to listen in on the wires and find which ones are carrying the tone) If you have cruise and want to keep it then you will need to find the pink cruise wire and short it with the black ground wire. For cruise you really should swap the actual cruise control box which is also by the fuses from an automatic version to a manual version... I didn't and it still works but it is a lil tricky... you actually have to disengage the cruise by turning it off with the button on the dash otherwise if you just push in the clutch which would normnally disengage it on a manual it just starts going rev crazy.

I think that's about it... it's not hard at all... it cost me about $75 and an hours worth of work once the motor was in. Now if you're keeping your motor and just swapping the tranny etc. it will be more work but still not hard and definitely WORTH EVERY BIT.

Amen, I got my civic for $600 from a friend that had blown the motor. Besides that the car was great except for it being automatic... so for $600 I snatched it up, dropped in a motor and converted it... for under $5k I built myself a bad ass car considering I could have gone out and spent $6k on a stock pos w/ a d-series.

I'm real busy with work and stuff for a couple of days but as soon as I get a chance I'll get that too you... send me a pm so I don't forget:thumbup:
