Default My first d series

Hey guys, Im not new to honda/acura by any means i've had 3 Integras but I recently bought my first civic. Its a 97 EJ8 Milano Red. So far... its ok.. its an auto but that is getting fixed this weekend. Im doing the auto to manual swap. Any pointers or anything I should watch out for?

I have the whole clutch brake peddal assy. and all hydraulic parts and lines, I have the shift linkage, trans with clutch and flywheel, upper trans mount and ecu.

BTW As for the d series motor.. It sucks going from a b series to d is a big let down..lol

Doesn't apply to a '96 - '00 civic. All you need is the metal bracket that bolts to the top of the transmisssion.
