I also have another option . doing a Auto to Manual swap (Have a 00 Ex coupe) . I have read in other posts about different manual trannys swapping from one motor to the next . What Trannies would bolt up to a D16y8 ? ? ? I might keep this civic as a run around car and get a different car for the weekends . and I would like the option of getting a different tranny that has better gear ratios then the stock Ex Tranny if there is a better tranny out there . But this auto crap has to go before I do that LOL

 

D-series to d-series, b-series to b-series...you get my drift.
