Its OFFICIAL!!!: My tranny is gone Well, its time for me to find a new tranny... After a month or so of trying to figure out what to do i took it to a local shop and they evaluated the car and gave me the bad news. Now, i have several options in my book
1. Either get a new auto tranny.
2. Find a salvaged 01 civic and use that tranny
3. Find a rebuilt tranny
4. swap it the auto out with 5 speed tranny.
What do you guys think is the best option? and keep in mind i am not gonna get rid of this car. And i plan long down the road to swap the engine with a k20a2 or something with more power, and i am leaning towards a 5 speed swap since that would make it easier to swap and engine in. The only thing i worry about is the cost of the 5 speed swap.
Comments or ideas please

i dont know about the price of the swap for the 5 speed, but i got a quote for a new auto tranny would be around $1,800 bucks not including labor which would run about 500...
