How hard is this conversion and what is needed?

 

Have you found out what is needed? I've been searching and only found that you need some washers or something. Does anyone know?

 

pretty much a straight bolt one except the tranny. you will need a custom frabricated block that will act as an extension to allow you to bolt your manual tranny to the stock location. if you need one made for you let me know and I can get one for you at a good price. I am keeping my auto for now LS/v =-o. gonna eat some stock gs-rs and maybe some type-r when it is done. Can you picture them after getting beat.. ask you what have you done to your old school teg .. and i'll just say its a NA auto... haha they'll be embarssed for sure.

 

besides the tranny and mount, you need cable lines, clutch pedal assembly, shift link. and all the chit that comes with it.manual ecu(or just have it converted), thats all i can think of for right now

 

A custom fabricated block? Huh? Where'd you get that info?
It will basically bolt up, the hardest part to the swap is getting the manual pedals in there. You have to take out your steering column to do it. Other than that the manual tranny will bolt up with the exception of one bolt on the tranny mount which isnt a HUGE deal. They have mounts so it will match up perfectly...
Anyway, HTH and try searching G2IC.com and you will find endless info... g/l!

Thanks for the replyies guys. How much is that block you are selling? The tranny mount was my main concern. I've done a few auto to manual swaps, but all on a 96-00 civics, and they are cake. I did search g2ic but only came up with the washer method, and didn't feel to comfy with that. Anyways if anyone else has more info on the tranny mount, please let me know. Thanks!

 

The washer method works fine... I had that done with mine for over a year (almost 2 I think) and had no problems with it but ya I can understand your concern... I think i saw (on g2ic) some mounts that a company (not sure tho) made mounts so the tranny was a complete swap over... Anyways... g/l again!

I should be able to know by this weekend.. the guy ias hard to contact but it should be farily cheap.

 

my friend had his done. he didn't need a "fabricated block." took it to alternative. cost 1200 including a stage 2 clutchmaster. they found everything and installed it. took a few days.

 

I did a search on g2ic
and its just like here a good for nothing button
well if anybody has links for this info please post here.
the only info I found
wiring for your key release
use 92-93 driver mount to relieve stress on front and rear mount.

Just some stuff I found I know its not all there but it'll help

 

dont you also need the clutch flywheel

 

thanx I read all three links
but they only tell you about how to work reverse lights and how to short
so that the car thinks is in park
nothing about the tranny mount

 

I found on that site, that you need to put a spacer between the tranny and the mount itself, but pictures would sure help. I did an auto to manual swap in my 99 lx 4dr, and it was pretty cake compared to this.
