would I be able to swap my automatic transmission to a manual?
I have an 03 civic ex model v-tech engine. just wondering if I would be able to swap my automatic transmission to a manual? if so, what kind of transmission would be a good swap? and will it be worth it? thanks for the help!

There is no hyphen, and no H in VTEC.
With the correct parts, any car can be converted to manual trans from automatic. You'd need pedal assembly, shifter assembly, clutch master cylinder, fluid line, slave cylinder, trans mount hardware in addition to the transmission, flywheel and clutch assembly at the very least.
Some cars will require different axles as well.

you are better off just buying a car with a 5speed already installed IMO. mine was way more of a hassle than it was worth.

also to add to the list that Kalm_traveler posted you will ether need a new manual transmission ECU or have your converted over.
