Hey guys, Im not new to honda/acura by any means i've had 3 Integras but I recently bought my first civic. Its a 97 EJ8 Milano Red. So far... its ok.. its an auto but that is getting fixed this weekend. Im doing the auto to manual swap. Any pointers or anything I should watch out for?

I have the whole clutch brake peddal assy. and all hydraulic parts and lines, I have the shift linkage, trans with clutch and flywheel, upper trans mount and ecu.

BTW As for the d series motor.. It sucks going from a b series to d is a big let down..lol

Ill try to get some tomorrow

 

the top trans mount

make sure you have either the right mount or cut the bracket (on the frame) out of mt car

thats the biggest diff in at to mt

 

hey guys im running a 37820-P2P-A83 VTEC ECU of a 97 civic ex on my 96 civic dx with a y8 head. vtec solenoid is wired and the vtec oil pressure switch too. car was runnin fine for 3 days and it started to run a little funny. it loses power between 3000 and 4000 rpms at full throttle. can u guys give me any advise on what the prob is? i replaced the vtec oil pressure switch, but is still runnin like crap. is this the right ECU?

 

Why dont you swap a b-series in?

 

a D is all what you make of it.

 

Doesn't apply to a '96 - '00 civic. All you need is the metal bracket that bolts to the top of the transmisssion.

I Myself love the D series.. And don't ever see myself going B Series.

 

any difference in switching over from auto to manual in the 99-00 civic?

 

let me help you out there brah!

take your pic. i say the first one since its the same year/model etc.
but you can also use the 2nd one.

EDIT: brah?!?
damn GDD has been getting the best of me

 

I plan on it. I have all the stuff to throw the D series trans in right now. I have an LS motor, ecu, jumper harness.. but I still need a trans b series mounts dc shift linkage and some other stuff for that so for now im just going d series manual

 

dont say u never will go b series cause it will happen.

 

Thanks that will be a big help.
