AUTO swap to Manual
Hey All,
Anyone ever done a transmission swap from automatic to manual transmission? I've got a 97 Rs motor, and my buddy is giving me his 93 Civic tranny. Where can i get a pedal box from and how much do they cost? As well, does it have to be the pedal box for that particular civic? AS well, what other parts will I need for the tranny swap. Any input would be great! Tegmatic |
ur not tryin to use the civic tranny rite? cause if u r, they wont fit....my car went through the same experiment....but i let a shop do it...
|
so i'd have to find an integra tranny?
|
^ a hydraulic B series transmission, yes.
|
it's alot tougher for a 3rd gen i think. you'll need ECU, Tranny, Pedals, axles, linkage and stabilizer, clutch, clutch cable, ignition, flywheel, tranny mount, clutch switch, and i think a few misc parts,
gotta do alot of research before even attempting to even loosen a bolt. check team integra. there's info on g2ic about it but you're not a g2 |
lol :P Do what Im gonna do eventually sell your automatic and buy a Manual G3 WAY easier unless you like a challenge but if you think its gonna be cheaper? It doesnt look that way from what I can tell.
|
thanks for the input everyone
yea, i'm been contemplating selling the auto and gettin a gsr... just wanted to see if there was a cheap solution to my slow ass teg..lol... |

they are the best shop i've ever dealt with i've spent thousands of dollars there on motor work and never have had any problems, they will even help you out over the phone, also they have canadas fastest all motor crx I also sent a buddy with a civic for the same swap auto to 5 spd and it came out mint tell it was auto to begin with |
how much would a swap cost?
|
when i had my g2 i swapped from auto to manual it took 2 days of work to finish it but well worth it and i got it done cheap do to the fact that he had a car that was a part out so the parts were all there
|
Hmmm, doesn't matter if you teg is super fast...it's auto. Anyone can push the gas and go. No skill in that.
|
dennis, if you get suzie's integra, you should do a tranny swap because all this love you're showing for automatic trannies is getting kinda ghey.
|
manual are quicker response in any way you look at it but that quicker response can get you that ticket that much quicker as well
|
i'm a lazy bastard =) stick requires effort... and besides that.. i commute A LOT... and it's easier to drive.. put it in D... and then enjoy the ride =)
JDMgsr- I'm not a push gas and go kinda person.. =) i like the twisties =) it's more like push gas and go around corners! |
That's cool! I was thinking you might be doing drag.
