Either sell it and buy a manual, or start rounding up parts to convert to manual.

Find a wrecked EG Civic or DC Integra in a junkyard and you can get about 75% of what you need. The only costly parts are going to be the tranny mount (Hasport), the clutch and flywheel, a manual ECU, the linkage, and naturally the tranny.

There's no V6 swap for our cars, so no more talk about that.

You're young and you obviously dont have a whole lotta cash flow, keep in mind that the labor involved in converting your car to a manual and installing your engine will be close to, if not more than a grand, just in labor costs alone. You'll still need to spend a coupe grand on your engine.

There isnt awhole lot of DC4/DC2's laying around in junk yards, so that aint gonna happen either.

Do you really have this time/money to spend on your car? If not, and I suspect that you dont, you're really much better off selling your car and buying a GSR. Or, if selling is not an option, then just stick with what you have and make the best of it.

I hear there's an all automatic squad here somewhere....they're looking for new members.

But it just so happens that the pedal assembly, master cylinder, hard lines, and slave cylinder from an EG Civic are the exact same parts. I've bought complete assemblies for less than fifty bucks before.
