How much does it cost to drop a manual trans?
My buddy owns a 99 Civic EX (I know this is 7th gen, but please...) and is sick of being beat because it's an automatic . He is intersted in dropping a manual transmission into it by any means. How much does this usually run? Do you go to Honda to do it, and will it be a brand new transmission, or will it be used? Mainly, how much will it cost?

Rep Power: 339 Well, dropping in an auto, it may be cheaper and better just to sell the auto and find an manual. I'm not sure how much it is for a Civic, but an Accord is about $2500 and up. There is a lot of work involved plus you have to get the basic parts, and tranny. I only know that tuner shops may do such things.
