Re: how hard...

LMFAO HLC, that was my first thought to. Well doing the swap from auto to manual is not the hardest thing in the world, but if you dont have the proper tools, time, parts, and know how then you should not be doing it. you need a tranny, clutch, flywheel, new pedels ( the worst part in my opinion), clutch lines, master cylinder, diff mount (maybe not 100% sure on that one) hydro fluid, ECU (unless you want a CEL or there is some way around that ), shifter assembly, shift forks, and nuts and bolts.

Re: how hard...

I think I've seen the switch. It's right beside the D17 to K20 switch right? I imagine its involved but u can do it!!!

Re: how hard...

if you have never attempted anything like this and have no mechanical skills leave it to someone that does.i also drive a auto i know how it is but just switching to stick for a D17 is pointless in my opinion unless your auto tranny is blown or your swapping in a k20.

Sry, but i got to fix this up.. I have a manual 02 DX and My dad has 05 Auto.. Man i love my manual, it gets up alotttt faster..

But, if u going do all dat, u might as well just sell ur car and get u an manual.. If u dont have right tools and parts, its not a good thing...
