Default type s 6 speed tranny in base model

whats up everyone so here's the deal. i have a base model rsx with a k20a3 or the ep3 motor whatever you like to call it.Ive been doing some homework because right now i have a semi auto tranny and i cant stand it. im going to start my build soon and i need to know if its possible to swap a type S 6 speed tranny into a base model rsx. Ive thought about it for a long time and done some homework and from everything i can gather it should fit but i want to be sure. if anyone knows for sure or is pretty sure please let me know i would really appreciate it.

sort of what im lookin for but i already figured on having to do mods to the firewall but what im wondering is will the bolt patterns and everything match up sort of the way it works with a 240sx auto to manual swap, in theory the type s tranny and the base model tranny should be interchangable right?

Take the advice in that thread and sell your auto and buy a manual RSX. The cars are still worth too much money to go hacking them up.

Maybe in 5 years, but they still have too much resale to ruin them.

Why have it so hard for yourself? Like Todd00 said, trade in your base model for a Type-S model. You'll save a lot of time and money.

If you were to stick with the idea (converting auto to manual), don't expect to get anywhere close to the average price of a used Type-S model if you ever decide to sell it in the long run.
