right now im driving an A/T 1998 Integra RS, and i want to change to M/T, i had a couple questions, how much would it generally cost for a Manual Tranny (i need everything necessary) and where would i generally get it swapped, i called my local shop and they said they dont do it...

Thanks,
Matt

 

sell your car and buy a new one; thats the easyest way to do it.

 

I agree, don't even try.........

 

that's the problem, im 17 and my mom wont let me sell my car...

 

Ive been in your exact position. Its not worth it, trust me. You would have to get a different ecu, tranny, put a ugly hole in the firewall next to your break, and it will never run as good as a stock manual. If u do it though definately get a new si tranny . Should cost around 2 - 3k dollars.

 

ok, so if i did get a new car, right now on KBB my car is worth around 7k-8k, its a 1998 Integra RS, white, 38k miles, a few burns marks, paint chips, but the car runs great, etc. what kind of car do you think i should get to replace it? a new Integra? or should i go with something else?

 

unless u drive on open roads alot. manual sucks in heavy traffic. i swear i get a leg workout everytime i go anywhere in my town.

but i got alot of this from girls at school "wow u have a manual on ur car"

 

LS tranny = $500

Conversion Parts = $500+

and do it yourself.

If you cant do it ... there is a shop in GA that does them .. i guess thats pretty far from NJ

 

ok, so im not gonna get a new tranny, but what kind of car would i get instead, im looking to stay in the Honda scene and find a car for at most 7k...

If you don't know how to change it yourself it will probably cost a lot of money. Like others said it is easier to just buy a new car. A manual trans is a hell of a lot better. I drove an auto teg once and it felt really slow. Especially on cars with little engines, like integras, the manual trans makes the car a lot more fun to drive.

 

sell your car get a 94-95 GSR and have cash left....

 

if u are gonna go from at to 5spd u might as well just get a whole swap....GSR would be nice u get the motor and the tranny done for like 4000 bucks

 

sell your car for at least 6k and you can buy a 95 GS-R. great year, OBDI, responsive on mods. so your basically getting a faster car for free.
