auto to manual conversion
i have a 96 hatch dx, with auto tranny, but i want some power and i want a stick. What is the easiest swap to make it into a manual, and what all is necessary to do this?? i know the h22 is powerful and relatively ceap, is that swap any harder than any other like a b16a2?? i know that this would obviously be a big project and probably wont happen for a little while still but i just want to know what im looking at here...thanks

Re: auto to manual conversion (LiLn81224)
When running the hardlines for the clutch, can you use them off ANY Civic? Or are they generation specific?...for example, can I use 5G lines in a 6G? It's rare to find wrecked 6G's around here still...and I want to keep the costs to a minimum.
I'm working on converting my wife's 98 EX as well. So, master cylinder/slave, hardlines, pedal assembly? Anything else? *Besides the ECU/shiftlinkage/axles*
*We really need a HOW-TO for this stuff since it comes up every other week. And NO ONE seems to know exactly what parts are needed and what to install. The Hybrid page's How-To leaves alot out....plus it was for a RHD Civic anyways. I mean, if we have write ups on how to shoehorn an H22 in a Civic, we can definitely get one on the Auto to Manual swap!* So, any volunteers?
I think once I get everything in order, I'll get a detailed write up to go with it.
