Civic EG

I've bought a 1993 civic dx and am very pleased, BUT... it's auto!!! Not pleased with that. What manual tranny can I mate to the D15B7? If this has already been posted, my apoligies, but would appreciate the link.

got search?

for shortest geared and better acceleration, go with a d16z6 or y8 tranny.

There's a lot more to swapping in a manual in place of an auto.

You will need:
-Transmission, duh.
-Shifter and linkage.
-Manual transmission mount.
-Clutch master cylinder (CMC), reservoir, and slave cylinder (CSC).
-Clutch pedal assembly, and manual transmission brake pedal assembly.
-Flywheel (as opposed to a flexplate in an auto).
-Clutch, duh.
-Some sort of fluid line from the CMC to the CSC.
-Manual ECU (match it to your engine, whatever it is).
--I'm not sure how it is in the D-series ECUs, but in the B18B1 automatic ECU, there is a resistor that you desolder and remove and it becomes a manual ECU. I'd be arsed to remember which resistor it is.
-Manual center console.
-Manual cluster if you want to complete the look.

And about a week or so to do the swap...

any 92-00 D series tranny will bolt right up.

well...i was thinkin about doin an engine swap. Throw in a D16Y8 with the five speed stick and all. It all comes in one "big" package, so i guess i'll just throw down a couple hundred more and get the whole package. there are all kinds of write-ups for the swap, so... sound like a good idea? It'll be about five months, but i'll get the bread.

I'd do some research on the D16y8 swap (0bd2) vs the D16z6 (obd1) vs just the ex/si tranny & a mini-me swap (cheapest option)

how much do you want to do work wise and what's your budget?

Definately find out what fits your budget the best, and whatever you do.......just dont put this tranny in your car.

work wise, it doen't matter. the civic is my second car, so i can give it as much attenton as needed. as for money...haha. well the old lady wouldn't agree, but i'm looking to spend around 2 grand, less if possible. not alot i know, but more than enough to have some fun, epecially since i'm doing the work myself.

If you're just doing a tranny swap, you won't spend anywhere near $2,000 unless you're buildiing a bullet proof tranny.
