not that familiar with the switch
i was looking to see what i need to have, to do the switch
obviously a tranny but im talking about the little parts that make it happen
and also wanted to see how much it would be to go from my stock dx motor to a small vtec block

 

wait what the hell you trying to do?

 

switch my automatic eg to a manual eg

 

You need:
- the pedal assemblies (at least the brake and clutch)
- clutch master cylinder with lines that runs to the slave cylinder on the transmission
- slave cylinder if the trans did not come with one
- 5 speed ecu so you have no code (will run fine, just have an auto. trans code)
- passenger side mount (auto car, 5 speed trans) from reputable company or drill the spotwelds and remove the passenger sisde body mount out of a 5 speed civic and reweld it in your car and use an oem 5 speed mount
- 5 speed trans torque mount (bolts to the trans) if it didn't come with one
- some experience with removing the dash and working on cars :D

To add a D16Z6 into the mix (I think that's what you are referring to as a small vtec block) you need to have the ecu from that engine, and also you need to wire up vtec to your ecu so its works properly. If you haven't worked on cars much, don't expect to finish it in a weekend. As a fairly skilled mechanic with almost any tool at my disposal it takes me about 6 - 8 hours to complete an auto to 5 speed conversion. With this being said, I have seen people take 6 months to get it done, and if this car is your DD, that would not be good. Good luck!

 

thanks alot man that answers all of my questions
i appreciate it
also was wondering if you know of a good place to start looking for these parts
somewhere legitimate of course
and how much is all of this going to run me(an estimate)?
thanks

Well I don't charge much for the parts when people come to me for them, but I am sure some charge a pretty penny. I think I charged $250 for everything last time including the ecu and the oem body mount (not a hasport one). Your best bet would be to look in a pick a part slavage yard and pull everything yourself if you are so inclined. As for the mount, look on ebay...there are a ton of sources for the transmission mount if you go that route Good luck!
