you will also need the steel line that runs from your slave cylinder to your tranny and you need a five speed brake pedal i did this on my 94 hatch and that steel line is a pain. you will also need to run a wire from the back up switch on the tranny to the tail lights i have heard of doing this a different way but idk.

Just as a note, just because you change the ecu does not mean you have to go 5 speed.

cutting the hole out out for the new shifter to come through the floor board . your gonna need a piece of sheet metal. wiring your gonna have to wire the lock up switch and reverse lights. its all easy to do as i said before google it or use the search its been covered over a thousand times

from what i read, you dont NEED to go 5spd if your swapping to a p28, there are auto p28 ecus

although i would advise you swap to manual for the benefit, its not a necessity if you jsut want to do a mini-me swap

You need the mount on a '92 - '95 Civic/'94 - '01 Integra. If you got it to work your engine is sitting crooked and you will have major axle issues.
