is this hard to do on a 97 civic lx sedan? i have a non vetec 4 cyl.

 

So he spelled VTEC wrong. Who cares!

Now that that's out of the way...

It's not very difficult even for a novice. You will need many parts, and some of them are easiest to install with the engine removed. Research and do it, it's worth it.

 

will ANY manual trans fit my civic or does it HAVE to be one from my year?

 

what would i need to change on my engine? can you juss pull the eng and trans and put it all in?? would the harrness all plug in? i would want to keep my engine.

 

tranny, clutch, linkages, shifter, cluth pedal, clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and ur hydro line

i know on a eg/delsol hasport makes a mout that you need with the swap but idk abut the ek

 

find a single cam tranny take urs off put a clutch and flywheel on the motor bolt up ur 5sp trany unbolt the block off plate for the pedal install pedal and master cylinder/resivor put motor and tranny back in the car hook up linkages and role out
