for those who are thinking about doing a auto--> 5spd conversion...and can't SEEM to find out a quick and easy write-up...HERE YOU GO.


*** First of all, remove the automatic pedals and reinstall manual pedal assembly along with the other manual accessories (clutch lines, clutch master cylinder, etc.).

 Remove the armrest/center console and shift boot trim panels to gain access to the shifter and plugs.
 Remove the two shift cables that run through the floorboard.
 Remove the automatic transmission and install the MANUAL transmission WITH the proper CUSTOM 5spd mount (Hasport or other companies)
 Chisel out the cable guide bracket with an air-chisel.
 Use a thin piece of sheet metal (trimmed to size) to cover the large hole where the old auto shifter used to be. Make sure you cut out a 3�-4� hole for the manual shifter. Attach plate with self-tapping screws or bolt/nuts.
 Drill out the two indented spots where the manual shifter bracket is supposed to be.
 Install shift linkage onto manual tranny and use OEM shifter rubber boot at the sheet metal plate. Bolt and nut the shifter using the newly-drilled holes.

WIRING:

 You will notice the 14-wire plug at the old automatic shifter location. Cut the plug from the auto shifter assembly and leave about 5� of wire.
 STARTER SENSOR: Run two wires from the clutch pedal assembly (clutch interlock switch) to the two heavy gauge wires (#11 & #12) at the plug. This will allow the car to only crank when the clutch pedal is depressed.
 TO CRANK CAR: Spot the 2-wire plug with two heavy gauge black wires. Connect them in a �closed� loop.
 CRUISE CONTROL SENSOR: Run two wires from the clutch pedal assembly (cruise control disable switch) to the two wires (#7 black & #13 pink). This will disable the cruise control once the clutch is depressed.
 TO REMOVE KEY IN IGNITION: Connect the black wire with the green/white wire (on the 14-wire plug). This puts the car in �PARK� so you can take the key out.
 REVERSE LIGHT: Run two wires from manual tranny plug (yellow & green) to the yellow #4 & green/black #5 of the auto shifter cut plug.



***** <U>THE WIRE SEQUENCES ON THE PLUG:</U>
14-- 13-- 12-- 11-- 10-- 9-- 8
7-- 6-- 5-- 4-- 3-- 2-- 1

EXTRAS:

 Install 5spd gauge cluster
 Install manual center console

but we will give you an A for your effort</TD></TR></TABLE>this works for Civics, Integras, and Accords. If you read it correctly..I said cut the hole out in the sheet metal for the shifter..not on the car. I'm sure it does have about the same info as the others..but its not a WHOLE page...
