I'm looking into a 1998 Ek Coupe with a d16y8 motor, buts auto! How hard and expensive would it be to swap to manual transmission. Or would it be bettter to swap in a b-series motor and swap to manual? If its to much of a pain in the *** i dont want to do it but with your guys help it could be possible. Let me know how hard this would be and is it worth it. Because its a very nice car but im turned off by the auto? let me know guys i need your help!!!! thanks boys!!!

well it depends on if you want to make it look stock or buy a mount kit.. i did my brothers Del sol auto to manual.. i went to the local junk yard.. pulled out passenger side mount that was welded to the car.. manual shiftlinkage shifter boot clutch lines and master clutch pedels all 3... and i also cut the middle part for the shifter unless you want to use sheet metel.. ran me about 400 - 500 for parts.. thats not including the ECU.. you might be about to convert your Ecu to manual.. i did.. if you know what you are doing.. just dont expletive up.. haha.. the mount for auto to manuall might run almost 2- 300 more.. dont forget that the auto passenger side bracket that is welded to the frame sits an inch higher and a half inch back.. so if you deside to get a manual side bracket make sure you weld it in right.. or you might be a lil off.. anything more then 1/4 inch can make a Diff..

it might be different on the 99 civics just have to do some research.. plus with all the parts i took me 1 whole day... by myself.. would be nice if my Bro knew anything about it.. and i still havent finish the wiring.. haha..
