hi everyone...i joined this website to learn more about the upgrades for civics....i drive the new 06 ex civic.....but sadly it is automatic.......but hey i can't complain....it is still a great car and has very good gas mileage...but that hinders it from being modified

my question....automatic to manual conversion? I kno that because it <U>is</U> drive by wiring that makes it even more difficult (sry for the typo....need to proof read these before posting.....so would it be just easier to make a trade in swap or can it be done...? (yes i kno it costs mucho $$)

thanks

Short answer: yes, anything can be accomplished with enough money.

Long answer: Sell your car and buy a stick-shift. Whatever money you lose on the deal will be less than the cost of the conversion. No, I haven't researched this at all, but if I'm wrong, I'll eat my shoes. If you want a manual, and are willing to take a hit financially, it's the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way to get there.
