Lambo Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 When i got the civic, it was supposed to be my chicks car. it ended up being mine, the problem is i want a manual trans. is it worth the effort to swap out the tranny for a 5 speed? has anyone done this? what do i need and how much can i expect to spend? thx!

..SSR.. Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Do you want it for mileage purposes or just so you can shift and be stunna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexyH22 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 the proper way to drive a car is with your hands on 10 and 2 o'clock. how can you properly drive if you have to remove your hands from those positions to shift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 did an auto to manual conversion on my crx a while back... but since it appears you have a newer civic, might as well just get rid of it and get a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakuryu06 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 If this has been asked so much, why not just make a Sticky Topic which tells you how? o.O? If i knew i would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricer99' Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I am looking to do this as well. I think it's worth it if you do'nt go buying brand new stuff and you go with a cable clutch which to me is a better clutch setup anyway, you can adjust it to where you want. All you need is pedal setup(junkyard will have most this stuff.) I would get a new clutch cable, new clutch set,(clutch disc, throw out bearing, pressure plate) Flywheel and tranny. If you want to do it right I would get a lightened flywheel since you already have all this crap off the car, axels, stage 3 clutch, and most importantly an ecu out of a 5-speed car(but, you can still use the one you have but there's a connector you have to bind together so the car doesn't think it's always in park and won't move.

..SSR.. Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 127bhp needs a "stage 3 clutch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricer99' Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 the stage 3 clutch is made of a thicker more durable material... ceramic in some. this lasts longer, is worth purchasing and is cheaper then buying the whole oe clutch assembly and buying just the 6 puck ceramic clutch disc and I never said that 127 hp needed a stage 3 clutch but since it's already apart and he's planning on moding it.. he might as well.

..SSR.. Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 6 puck is even too much, just get an OE style clutch. "stage 3" you'll have to rev higher before you can slip, and your leg will cramp after driving a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricer99' Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 it's a personal preference. I have one in my jetta and it's a only about 105 hp. I like the higher rpm slip. I don't like slip at all but a stage 5 is a little much for street and I don't feel like having to chirp the tires everytime I pull out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricer99' Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 way to flame... this thread was over when the guy said, "Thanks, Ricer" yea..that would be me.. and I like to mention stages becAuse some people don't understand things like 6 puck clutch disc and differnt materials like ceramic and bi-metalic clutch pads.... if you want to get technical we'll get technical but there's no need to flame... aim it towards someone else.
