Can anyone provide me with a complete list of parts needed for an auto to 5 speed conversion? I mean everything, down to the last bolt. Thanks in advance.

I would search for it but I know medicsonic has it bookmarked... come on med, where are you...



Seriously, just search for it. The search isn't perfect but I've found this exact thing before.

I found a place that says they have several manual trannys, they just need a parts list to give me a price on each one. They say it will vary depending on mileage and warranty. I'm planning on waiting till I use up the 9500 miles left on my warranty, and then doing the swap. Thanks for the info everyone.

Well honestly i can drive a stick, but I need a little practice to DRIVE a stick. I can and have just hopped behind the wheel of a standard and done pretty good. I just need a little practice. After a week it will be all back.

ya i'm gonna get a act stage 2 or a clutchmasters stage 3 and a lightened flywheel right away. SO it will be a little harder to learn, but i drive my friends CRX with a stage 2 clutch and i can do it. it's just a little harder.
