Default 97 civic auto to manual HELP!

hey guys this is a first for me. kinda new to the webite as i just competely switched directions from building ups of 25 dsms. i am in the process of switching my 97 ex coupe from automatic to manual. i have the tranny and the clutch with mounting bracket and master cylinder. i also have 3 p28 ecu and a bd2 to obd1 jumper because i plan on boosting it when i finish my d16z6 build.

i am really lost on what else i need and if what i have will work. also looking to find out just what im gettin myself into.

Do you need the clutch hard line? I have one in mint condition. Master to slave, all lines and brackets included.

You need to cut out the metal where the auto cables where, for the linkage to clear, will also need linkage, reuse axles, manual starter, wiring reverse lights

If you're pulling this off another car, this can be huge PITA. Search for "bitch pin" for some ways to get this off. And don't re-use the pin - get a new one.

today sucked as i got to pull a part it started pooring. so instead of waitin it out or leaving i got the pleasure of getting soak. the car i found was a 95 civic amd after i laid under it to realize just takin the 2 bolts out of the back it came down easy. removing the one bar from the tranny from the brackett and what i think is suppose to be the "bitch pin" someone had been working at it before i guess because with one good hit it came right out.

now can i use a bolt to go back or do i need a new pin? also will this linkage work. i was told 92-00 are all the same.

Please check out the links in the FAQs sticky. It's one of the gray highlighted threads at the top of the forum. There's a lot of information there on auto to manual swaps.
