I have no intention of trash talking, but you migh consider another option.Just keep saving your money and put in a B16, it is cheap, in my opinion easier than swaping the transmission. and the performance gains are far greater than doing a 5speed tranny.

Just a thought

I beg to differ, honda auto trannies suck my ****. If you have an auto, the best thing to do is swap in a manual. Use that as a starting point, then you can swap an engine.
