hi i have a 1991 dx hatch and i was wondering how much of a hassel it will be. i have done a couple motor swaps but never done a auto - manual swap what wires do i need to change or block off and is there a wire or sensor for the clutch. any good threads with pics on doing this on here? thanks a bunch

 

pedals, tranny, shifter, clutch cable, and two wire by the old auto shifter have to be connected together for the nutral safety switch or the motor won't turn over. That should be it.

 

it will be that simple? i will have to custom make my own holes and stuff for my shift linkage right

 

theres a writeup somewhere online, just search for it. I based my first auto-manual swap from it and I was successful. I definitely recommend dropping the steering columnall the way down, if not removing it. I also reccomend blocking the holes left behind the auto shifter right away, and dont forget about it like i did.

I'd hit puddles and the water would steam off my exhaust and into my car

 

*HERE is my auto to manual pedal cluster swap
*HERE is my manual transmission overhaul
*HERE is my transmission conversion from auto to manual

 

dax thats an excellent write up. Where were you when i did my swap. Oh and if you think the pedal assembly is "it" and its "easy" then prepare to curse alot. hah

 

HOLY **** DUDE!! i just litterly finished my pedal conversion like 24 hours ago and do you know how much cursing, blood sweat and tears i could have avoided with that write up?? i mean i did the whole thing without dropping the steering colomn and it took me 4 straight days and a battle for sanity to finally get those dam pedals in but they finally bolted up literally about 24 hrs ago. You are the man DAX!!! i just wish i discovered this earlier

 

i definatly needed that help that will save my life for now untill i decide to put my gsr into it then i got another headach coming my way. thanks honda gods lol oh and DAX ur a damn genius and i love the pics and detailed instructions
