my advice is to sell your car or trade it for a manual...in my oipion its not worth all the work and money cheaper just to trade or sell...

LoL. i thought about it this way until i actually did it myself. don't pay for it because this service is so overpriced.
it's rather straight forward and simple.

How do u know?? Have you ever done one before?? I did 2 auto to manual swaps in a 5 day period, its pretty easy and not very expensive. Some parts that are over looked is a manual intake manifold becuase the IACV on a auto is on the throttle body and the IACV on a manual is on the intake manifold. U also need a manual throttle body or u can use your auto one and block off the auto IACV witha piece of metal. Without this you idle may be alittle wacky better to get it and be safe.
You also going to need a manual ECU.
Heres a list:
Clutch master cylinder
Slave master cylinder
Clutch
Flywheel
Manual Tranny (i recommend a S40 from a ex it has nice short gears)
Passenger manual tranny mount
Passenger tourque mount (bolt to the front of the tranny with 3 14mm bolts.
Manual engine stiffners (if u wanna do it right)
Hydrolic lines (u can buy them from honda or just use a stainless steal line)
Pedals (clutch and brake ) (seriously the hardest part to put in )
Shift linkages
Manual starter (auto is difffrent)
HELMS BOOK (***MOST IMPORTANT***)
I know there is stuff im forgetting but thats mostly the big stuff. Your going to need alot of bolts and small **** that is really annoying to find. I ordered alot stuff from majestichonda.com they have everything for pretty cheap. If u have any questions PM me. And it is definatly worth it stick is so much better then auto.
