Default Transmission Swap(Auto to Stick)

Hello Honda-techer's
I was wondering if anyone is the South of California that could help me out with converting my 1991 Honda Civic Dx from Auto to Stick. I would also like to know the rough estimate about how much this would cost??

Also i have some sort of an idea of what i need like a stick tranny and the pedals.. anything else??

Btw my car is stock and not planning to do a motorswap just a tranny swap.

Thanks!

Are you doing the labor yourself?

There are also options for how you go about doing the conversion that change up the parts list a little bit
You can swap metal in a couple areas to fully replicate the manual equipped chassis or you can just make do with what the auto chassis has.

The shifter:

Alternatively:
Just bore out the hole that the black plug is in or drill a new hole.

Truthfully i would like to do it myself but if I could find someone to do it for a good price I would rather have someone that knows how to do it so I don't mess my car up lol
