It is a lot of work. Since you don't have much experience and your car is basically stock, you should sell it. Then go out and buy a car that is already manual. Even if you had experience, swapping the AT to M would significantly lower the value of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 very true. well put. even if you do get it done, the floorboard is different so the clutch pedal wont go down all the way.. (or so i've heard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 if you do decide to sell it and get a manual, you should stick to a four door. something about a four door ej sedan is hotness in my book, i actually think its way better than a four door integra.

quake Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 lol.......anyway......I think the reason that I haven't sold this car and moved on to something else is.....well.......to tell you the truth.....I don't know what it is. To me, this is just one of those cars that sticks to you........I like it.........and for some reason I like it even more than newer civics.........it's the car itself. I just.......want to make it better I guess. I hope some of you know what i'm saying. Also......I have considered it and I guess it isn't completely necessary to have a MT.......I could always go AT and just do the engine swap.

Humphries Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 that'd be cool. MT is just more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yeah.....I figure that i'll just talk to the import specialists place in town and see what they say about it......I'll ask them about the clutch/floor board clearance and stuff. Thanks for the help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapaneseDomesticMarketGSR Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 That clutch floorboard stuff is just another rumor. At to Manual swap has nothing to do with clutch pedal clearance, but what do I know, I am just another ricer. If you are that attached to a stock civic then have fun with your swapped auto...

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 There isnt a clearance issue for the clutch pedal. Its the same floorpan as a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRG7 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 If anything, you might not have a dead pedal. There shouldn't be any clutch pedal issues. My CRX had the dead pedal, and obviously has no clutch issues after the AT-MT conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsol Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 o.O Dead Pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demented6's Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 According to my mechanic. You gotta have the tranny,pedal assembly, ecu,cables,5sd housing,slave and master cylinder, gauge cluster, and mt center console. Not including the clutch, flywheel, and far as the pedal assembly he says that all the bodys where made the same should bolt right up. I'm thinking of doing this swap also.

Xeryon Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 You won't need the center console (for most vehicles - not specifically sure about his EJ) They just use the normal MT opening and screw the AT shifter plate under it. If you pull it out you should be able to remove the whole plate assembly and you can screw in a manual boot. Should not need a new gauge cluster either, although looking at the AT shift lights on an MT car will be kind of funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demented6's Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 What i don't understand is why you need the ecu, and the gauge cluster just would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
