2000 EX auto to manual tunnel question
Does anybody have pics of the auto to manual swap specifically the tunnel area where you removed the auto shifter and put in the manual one. And also I found a post while searching that said there is a support bolt missing on the clutch pedal bracket when converting over to stick.

i did a 5spd conversion on my 98 civic ex. You have to cut out that bottom big peice of metal where the cable line ran through so that your shift linkage will fit right. As for that support bolt, i dont think it was missing. Everything was already set and ready for a clutch pedal. I didnt have to drill anything. I believe that all auto EK's came with all the necessary holes for a clutch pedal.

Correct. Most cars that automatic is an option, all the mounting provisions will already be on the chassis of the car. It would cost the manufacturer more money to not include these provisions... therefore the auto/manual option can be selected further throughout the assembly process.

yea, did like 3 of these auto to manual swaps for friends. just cut out the tunnel and rivet a piece of sheetmetal inside the car over the hole and seal it with permatex. works every time. and yea, honda includes all the nessasary holes to mount all the manual stuff

uhh no sorry i dont have a pic of it. But if you look good, theres 2 layers of metal. Just cut out the bottom layer. Also the hole for the auto shifter is gonna be big. So youre gonna have to get like a sheet metal, cut a hole in the middle big enough for the shifter to go in and be held up by that rubber thingy that its connected to, and use it to cover up that big hole. I baught two 6"x4" sheet metals to cover up both holes and used bondo to hold the sheet metal.
