Default B18A1 Automatic to Manual

I tried to search and I couldn't find what i was looking for. A friend of mine said he would sell me a complete B18A1 w/ harness, axles, ect, but he said it was an automatic.

I have a manual right now, d16z6, and i was wondering what i would have to do to convert the b18 auto to manual. could i just get another b18 tranny or what?

Thanks in advance
yea, im a noob

Parts needed:

B series tranny of your choice
Starter
Flywheel
Flywheel bolts
Clutch
Lower tranny mount
Rear mount bracket
Axles
Halfshaft
Shiftlinkage

You can reuse the upper tranny mount and clutch slave cylinder from your D series.

i was wrong. found out that its a b18b manual w/out transmission. im looking at a b16 tranny, but i heard its horrible for top end speed and gas mileage. (75mph at 6500rmp sounds bad to me) how hard would it be to get the b16c tranny and swap out its 5th gear with a b18 5th gear?

its B16A, not C.
if you're worried about gas mileage, why dont you just get a GSR tranny then?

edit: and where did you get 75mph @ 6500rpm? thats like what, 3rd gear?

some one told me that gsr's had really short gearing and that in a b18 i'd be pushing 6500@65 or 75.
