Unless you're wrapping this into something else...
Clutch
Pressure plate
throw out bearing

and the clutch pedal lock out for the ignition... I don't think the ECU will start the car without it, unless you can bypass it somehow...

have fun

Its the bearing inside the housing that moves the clutch plate when you press/release the pedal.

You will need the entire transmission (supplied by chenz), and an EX manual ECU (you cant use Chenz's because he doesn't have vtec) not to mention all the pedals and shifter, hydrolics, cables, etc. You might want to also look into gear ratios. I know a tranny is a tranny, but i don't think it is worth

if anything my tranny would be better cause i know LX's are geared lower for more torque low end... so if he got a vtec controller it'd probally help alot .

are you sure you need an ecu? oh one thing I know if you change your tranny you need to get the ecu flashed at honda for your key they said they charge 50 bucks.I really dont want to change the ecu and all that crap. Oh btw would it matter if I got a 4dr civic sedan 2001 ex ecu 5speed? I have a 2002 2dr civic coupe ex. Thanks.

I have everything for this swap and costs me around 1650 with install. there is a lot of other crap you have to get master cylinder, shift linkage, shifter assembly, pedal assembly, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate. The wiring harness alone costs $200. I am going turbo so I got the 6 puck clutch and the 11 lbs flywheel and xtreme pressure plate. some guy also told me that your foot will be soar because the clutch has no springs in it, and is really hard. oh well I guess its all worth it. I would have lost more money trading in my car because of my miles and I crashed it and I have modded up my car also.
