Slower? I hope you didnt pick the Civic up to be fast...... that car is slow, it cant feel any slower because then you would be in Park.

Like STL01civic said, it feels slow cause the tranny hasnt broken in yet. And please let it break in before you start to drive normal.

yes and no..
i think that they wouldnt do that because you would have to change a number of things..

ecu, wiring harness, shift linkages, install a clutch pedal, flywheel, clutch

new axels, motor mount hydraulic lines
clutch safety switch

Tranny needs time to break in. Also I would suggest changing the fluid after 2k miles once everything gets going to get all the metal and crap out of it.

a dealer wont do that. Even if it cost cheaper for the tranny, the warranty company wouldnt allow it. Besides, honda wouldnt install it anyway. They probably wouldnt know how.

You sure you didn't have to have that replaced because you were driving your auto like a "manual" ? Neutral >>> 5k >>> D >>> BOOM
