So I have an automatic 1998 Civic CX and I want to change it to a manual. What am I looking at for costs (including labor)? I really want to do this but I am on a limited budget.

 

you will probably save 1000 if you do it yourself...parts are not that exspensive...all you need is the TRANNY/CLUTCH/FLYWHEEL/CLUTCH PEDAL. You can find a SOHC cx tranny for really cheap probably like 150-200.

that would be ideal..but i dont have the capabilities to do it myself...how much otherwise?...plus i probably wont be getting a cx tranny because i am potentially going to do an engine swap...so ill need something a little more heavy duty

 

IMO, keep that money, save it, and apply toward a 5speed B series swap (around 1500ish) then just do it all at once

 

alright...if I do this alleged b series swap...tranny and all...how much am I looking at for labor do you think?
