how much of a pain in the ass is it to go from an auto to stick. got a 95 hatch and the trans shit out last night i have a complete donor car to use for the swap how long does it take to do… ball park time. and does everything bot right up?
thanks

the pedals/clutch master is the biggest pita then its pretty straightforward. but as mentioned you might need to swap harnesses, esp if you care about cruise etc working correctly

its easy than man, get thje clutch pressure plate and flywheel all from a doner car (your gonna want them to be matched to the year of the transmission)
off the same car grab the pe4dal assembly and the ecu.
You can do it in a night.

The motor mount is not the issue…Its the mount bracket itself.
You might need hasports auto to manual mount conv.
Dont worry about rewiring vtec. Thats cake. Do a search on Honda Tech and you’ll find tons of info
Good Luck!

nope. The auto bracket sits upwards when the manual sits straight. 🙂

I can convert your ECU to a 5-speed for you. I’ll have all pricing info in a soon to be post in the forum advertisers section.

estorvitos got most of it.
the mount from avid is like $150, or you can cut and weld and use the stock manual bracket. the half shafts are the same.
i’ve done a bunch of honda auto-manual swaps. its pretty straight forward
