ok I have a 95 civic 4 door automatic i want to get rid of the automatic and put in a b16a1 ($1250) that is a cable transmission but i wouldn't have to buy the cable to hydro converter if I went from auto to manual would I? anyone got a clue what my total would be w/labor for getting all this done?? thanks

labor would be a bitch. find someone on H-T that is local to you, and pay them. they'd prob help you out.

I thought 92 Civic require Hydrolic trannies? Not cable?

Someone help me out?

Bottom line: Don't buy AUTOMATIC.

they do require hydro but if I am going to a manual transmission am I able to use cable? B/C i am essentially replacing everything

The formula you have come up with is going to be a giant pain in the butt. You're going to have to replace the pedal box, make it fit, cut the holes for the cable clutch, and make the non-OBD engine comply to a OBD-I car.

My advice? You bought the automatic for a reason. Go with it.

Get a 1995 Acura Integra LS B18 engine and automatic transmision and use that. If you really want VTEC, then do the LS/VTEC conversion. If you want even more power, use a B20 block.

If you really want to go to manual, ditch the 4 door automatic and find a manual you like. I realize this probably isn't the answer you want to hear, and what you want to do CAN be done, but it's a pain.

Good luck, and choose well.

agrees with shawn. It might take a little longer, but I would do it "tom-style"..hah! Id keep your 4d00r automatic for a daily driver for awhile, search for a no motor car and drop your motor in there.
