hey guys im new here but just wanted to know an answer to this question. I have a 2005 civic ex coupe A/T...would i be able to swap trannys and get a M/T?? The one dude who i talked to said it wouldnt be possible to pass emission standards. And if its possible a price range would be nice

thanks for your help

Yes it is possible to swap from auto to manual. The problem is that it is expensive, and it is easier to just get a manual civic. If you still want to do it use the search button

you're looking at $3000+ if you're doing most if not all the work yourself. considering you'd be doing it on a 120hp car it's definitely not worth it. its much more fun to drive a manual, but not $3000 worth of fun. bottom line is, stick with what you got and save a pretty penny for a nice manual honda or acura with a k20 as your next car.

if you get too anxious, sell your current car and use the money as a down payment on a newer manual... imo, it wouldn't be worth it to do a engine or tranny swap unless it's a unique project/show car.

spend the money you would changing it from an auto to a manual on a turbo kit

i gurantee if you aren't happy with your automatic now that you will be when you're boosting

Thanks guys for your help. I think ill just save up some money and get a manual. Its not worth spending 3000 just for a new transmission. Maybe get a new si and customize from there.

very good choice. i love the new Si's. i've got my heart set on something like this in 2 or 3 years when the price goes down and my current 5 spd em2 is paid off...

not gonna lie the new i-vtec 6spd accords are sexy as hell. plus they're putting out a mild-mannered 0-60 in just under 6 seconds.

i saw an article a while back when it came out late last year that the pros thought that car was a lexus at first glance. in fact, if you shave the badges and change out the front grill that thing will look straight up presidential

That accord is pretty sweet and it would look like a lexus if you shaved everything off ha

It doesnt cost 3 grand to do the swap, people have done it far cheaper. Wait around for the parts and you could do it for a grand.
