Automatic to Manual conversion

By JimmyD
- Tue Apr 19, 2011 1:28 pm #251156 I found a teal automatic civic eg coupe on craigslist with no motor and I might be able to get it for 800. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be worth it to change it to manual or would it be too costly.

(pedals and clutch res) the other stuff is all over the place.

Id expect a pretty clean body for 800 bucks.

So keep your eyes open I'm sure you can find a good deal. A lot of yards won't want much for that stuff if you pull it

Forcefedeg: t bracket? Do you know What other mounts I need? I just heard so many different things :roll:

Jimmy's: sorry don't mean to steal your thread :wink:
