Converting automatic to stick
I have a 2k1 civic that's automatic, but i want to change my transmission to a manual. Do you know if this is possible? If so, how much and where can i get it changed? THx

It's possible but not recommended. Very pricey. You will need to do some modding in the interior as well. You might also want a gauge cluster to take those damn things off and that'll put you into inaccurate mileage and screw your resale value.

Rep Power: 424 Can be done, but will be much easier and prolly cost the same to trade the auto in for a stick. You also won't be without a car for the time it takes to do the swap. It has been estimated that it would be about $3000 to do the full swap. Search around... this has been talked about before.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 in your case, with your car being a 2001 it would just be easier to trade the car in for a manual, u will lose a little bit of money, but in the long run it would be cheaper that an entire tranny swap.
i was thinkin of this too, but trashed the idea.. im only 17 so i cant go trade in by myself. and i already have like 17k miles on my car. so im ganna just stick with the fact that i have an auto, unless i do a engine swap sometime in the future (not likely though
