my friend has a civic ex 98' automatic and he was wondering how to make the acceleration faster? any advice needed, ill check back then relay the stuff to him

 

why dont you try looking around a little bit? you may find something useful.
better yet, search.

to keep it OT, get a manual tranny.

 

LMAO. this has to be a fake question, at least I sure hope it is.

A 98 automatic? prepare to spend lots of $$$. just go down to your local import shop and tell them you want nawzzzz. they'll hook it up!

 

i told him he should just buy a new freaking car, but he dosent have the money and also wanted to know if an auto to manual switch would be worth doing

 

I dont know if its possible, but he can swap a 5th gen AT tranny. I had a 95 Civic EX coupe back in the day with a turbo set up, but b4 I went turbo it would out shift the 6th gen AT's cuz they use their own ECU to shift the Tranny. 5th ges dont. Or he can get a Torque converter.

 

manual tranny would be the way to go. but might be more trouble than its worth.

i have dsl
can you tell me where to download useful information?

 

couldn't he just swap a good motor (H22/B18c/etc) motor into it and put the 5spd on the car that comes with the swap?

i mean.. that will make his car much faster.
but it's a lot of money

so i'm saying.. if he can consider a motor swap, why doesn't he just wait till then to swap the motor and the 5spd tranny instead of swapping a civic tranny right now..

 

there is A LOT more to it than just swapping the tranny. you have to use an ecu from a manual, get the pedal cluster from a manual, get a flywheel, clutch, tranny, shift linkage, shifter, ****, boot, mounting brackets for the shift linkage and stableizer bar, a clutch master cylinder + resivoir. run the hydrolic line to the slave cylinder. automatic and manual axels might be different? not really worth it just to make a 5spd. sell his civic and buy something more useful to start with
