Default Here's a tough one: B18c1 in 98 EX auto

Besides the complete engine swap, whatelse do I need? Also, do I go with a Civic manual swap, or a GSR manual swap? You know, clutch master cylinder, lines, etc etc. OR are they both the same?

The engine swap I can deal with (done 3 swaps already)...but I haven't done an auto to manual swap before. Any hints/tips? Thanx!

Wait, what are you referring to? The manual swap?...or the GSR engine swap? And why wouldn't it shift as well? It's the same chassis as a manual equipped Civic, but with all the auto stuff replaced with parts from a manual. OR is there something I'm missing here?
