i am getting rid of the engine my car has right now for another, but while i am at it, i want to change it from automatic to 5 speed. my friend that works at a honda dealer told me that its going to cost alot of money to change from auto to manual. what exacly would i need to do this change over and is it worth it?

i know i am a noob, but this is how everybody started here...

 

anyone?...

 

i did a write-up here -> https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1526246

this was for a b-series but the general concepts are the same

 

thanks for the info, that was a very good write up.

i had gone to a local performance shop to see how much they would charge me to swap out the trans. they told me $1,800 !! thats with the stock dx tranny too. i rather just get the b16b with tranny and everything for a grand more...
