ok people, im looking to buy another integra but it just so happens that the one im loking at is an AUTOMATIC so im looking into how to and how hard it would be to do the swap.

the owwner is looking to sell car for $2000 canadian (about $1400 us) its a 94 rs and im also looking to do a gsr swap aswell


so any links or tips are needed and welcome

 

Its a very involved process...main thing is sourcing all of the parts.

We will be updating our site with a how-to on this very same chassis.

Total time was about 12 hours...this included lots of "breaks"

If you know how to work on car then you can check other peoples work. And an RS for 1400 is a STEAL!!! If you don't buy it send it my way. And its worth the time and effort.

 

i think the same way, better off buying a manual to begin with. I would buy that rs and resale it ot someone that wants a beater.

(yes i know, lots of people have done it and it is just fine.....yaddda yaddda yaddaa)

 

its not that hard. I know a company makes the transmission mount that you can use from automatic to manual, so you don't have to reweld a tranny mount, but I did anyways so i can use a OEM mount. After that, you just have to install the clutch pedal, clutch lines. Obviously you have to source those from a good car, but after all that, its not that bad. I've had my car for 5 yrs since converted to manual, and runs great.

 

i would def get the auto and convert it, i picked up my 96 LS for 2300 bucks with 99k on it. when i converted mine in april i got the hasport auto to manual conversion mount and made a full stainless clutch line which made it a lot easier then getting the line in there. it took me about 6 hours and i have to say its well worth it even spending the extra money and doing it right. i would rather do that instead of getting some ragged 5-speed that grinds gears and needs a clutch, just my opinion
