this has been mentioned b4. let's just say you bought the wrong car. it would cost too much to do the conversion. u might as well take that money and swap motors while ur at it

Keep the automatic a couple years, then trade for a stick. Or spend your money on mods.

it will void your warranty so just keep it. but if you wanted to do it, it wouldnt be too bad, you just have to find a wreck and rip the trans, clutch, cables,and shifter out....oh yeah, you need a clutch pedal. its about 1300 around here

You could always get a short shifter, not cheap, but cheaper than a new tranny

You have to have a manual before you can get a short shifter (a short shifter just makes your shifts on a MANUAL shorter & quicker). It has nothing to do with a automatic.

Im not sure if theres a tiptonic for honda. I know Mitsubishi make one. Back in my country they sell Lancer with tiptonic they call it INVECS II.

But I have Driven an SUV that uses an tiptronic its a BMW X5 my aunt own one. And I can borrow it as long as I like. But theres nothing compare driving a Stick. Driving a tiptronic is like driving your auto transmission starting on D1 D2 D3 D4 and so on. The fun of how manual drives, that they can't imitate.

if you want it that bad, trade the car in and get a 5-speed. youll lose some money, but youll have a brand new car and a 5-speed

Nah, automatic all the way for me baby. One hand on the wheel and one on girly. None of the shifting sh*t. No time for that.

Me too. I love my automatic. It's really hard to drive a stick and eat breakfast at the same time.
