Ok so I re-read your writeup again, specifically looking at the cruise control issue. It might be just me but i came out of it with the impression that you will lose cruise if you do this swap. Did you get it to work? I plan on doing this swap next summer, but I don't think I will if i will be losing cruise control because i have to commute everyday.

and about the cruise control, it only works in D4, D3 and 2, just ground the pink wire and it will always work, or connect it to the clutch switch, then switch to ground.

I did ground the pink wire but the cruise still wouldnt work no matter what i did. I think because it was set to park that it tripped it off im not sure. The car is in Vegas now and im in LA so i couldnt check it further.

We LOST cruise control.


And for the rear mount the manual is a little slinder then the auto one.

 

God its about time someone did this. Great write up. You deserve a or maybe a few

He'll have my car back in 2 weeks if he wants to work on the cruise control some more ;-) The transmission I bought from another HT member has some serious issues and it needs to be replaced already. It leaks A LOT.

Then squish up some more quick steal and fix that crap.. that is what I did to fix my leaky tranny.. worked great!

 

I bought 3 tubes of quick steel. I should show you the pics. My crank case is covered in it. That wont stop the leaks where the seals are however.

 

The Tranny had a hole in it that was jb welded by the pervious owner. Guess his welding job didnt hold up

 

if there is a clutch safety switch, a physical switch, wouldnt it make sense to wire up the 'in park' wires to it? so it releases the key when you push in the clutch? then, if the cruise doesnt work because it thinks its in park, this would fix that too wouldnt it?

 

Ideally yes but at the same time theres a cruise control switch that needs to be wired up as well. again not a big deal but i didnt have plugs to do it for this car.

 

Personally I think he was just too lazy ;-) KIDDING! The boy drove 7 hours to NorCal for my new tranny did I mention that? I owe him MY LIFE

 

dope shiet, can u host the pics somewhere else so they wont die eventually?

 

If someone has there own website i could send you all the pics and you could host them for me. We-todd is the best i have.

 

i was thinking bout doing this conversion this weekend. this will be a very helpful thread this weekend.

 

this is just what i needed! thanks

 

very nice write-up..sticky

 

im going to be doing this swap eventually.. hopefully ill have enough $$$ in the bank this coming friday to order my motor/trans/ecu.
HMOTORS! HERE I COME!!

 

when i did this swap in my eg, i had to get an auto to manual tranny mount because the mount welded to the frame was off about an inch. now my girlfriend is wanting me to do it to her 99 civic. anyone know if i am going to run into the same problem?

 

No, just get a manual mount for her car and your set.

 

Ohh stop showing off and pertending you know all about working on cars, you act like your opening up your own shop or something lol

 

im doing this on my 2000 ex.. do i really need to relocate my o2 sensor? what is the best metal cutter i can use for the auto cover thingy?

 

So what do you do with the inhibitor sensor that tells the car that the clutch pedal has been pushed in? Does it matter if you have the sensor or not?

I just did the conversion. I thought that overall it wasnt that hard, more time consuming. I had the pedals and master cylinder hooked up in a little over an hour.

I bought all the parts new at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com I think i spent maybe at most 300$ for everthing with the clutch pedal, brake pedal, mater cylider etc.

Any experience or knowledge about the sensor would be of a great help.

Thanks
Max

sorry this probably of no help, but 300 w/ the transmission?!

 

Sorry I am lazy and didn't read anyone's replys, but why is it easier with the motor out? I replaced my clutch (and took the whole tranny out to take a look at it) without the motor out, but I would have hated taking the motor out on top of that. It's easier once you've done it, but still not quite as easy (to me at least).

By they way, I like the way you took up almost one full page for just the topic alone.

Pulling the motor is personal perference. But to me its 100 times easier because you dont have a car in your way.

I do clutch jobs with the motor in the car, thats easy. But this is a complete auto to manual, you have to change brackets, mounts, and other little things. Its alot easier outside of the car.
