WTT Transmission setup

Hello I'm looking to trade my complete 5speed transmission setup for a complete automatic transmission setup. This will include, the transmission, shifter, ECU, Pedal assembly and etc.
I would prefer a dx or lx automatic tranny setup because of the ECU swap. Don't want to have to deal with the vtec wiring.

My trainning has less than 3000 miles, It's off a VP. You can test drive it first.

If i do the entire swap for you, meaning Taking out your setup and putting in my setup, then I will have to charge.

vtec wiring is not that difficult dude, all you need is an ex ecu, ex engine harness, and I guess the dash harness if you want the guages to work perfect with no check engine light.

Yeah, but then I will have to find an EX 5 Speed ECU for that person. Also Are they will to take a slight power lost with the lower reving VP/LX tranny? If they are okay then it's kool with me.

i would do it with you but something is either wrong with my transmission or with the engine cuz the check engine light is on and when my car shifts it hesitates, but i do have a lot of miles, especially more than 3000

How much would you be charging to do the full swap? I have a friend with an auto tranny and he wants to do a tranny swap, but its dependent upon how much you would charge for all of it. I think he has an LX as well, but I'll find out later on today.

Hrmm, it would seem like a straight swap, I don't think any other speacial part is need. Hrmm I think I'll charge about 300 bucks to do the entire swap. I'll probably need 2 days because two cars are involved. Yeah this is a great opportunity to get 5speed. 5speed is alot quicker than auto.

Well I would do an EX, if your friend is kool with having an VP/DX/LX tranny. AN EX 5Speed ECU would probably be around 100 bucks.

Looks like a good deal for those who want the 5-speed conversion.

Thankz for the bump guyz this is definitely a good deal for people who want more speed for their civic because auto is just too slo. Anywayz, I'm giving this car to my girl and i'l rather have her drive an auto than a stick. Come on guyz hurry while it last. If I can't find a tranny swap i'm gonna trade it in for some corrolla or something. They have a good deal going on. I love my civic too much that's why i want to do an auto swap on it.

Aw man this is really tempting! So do you have a shop or something? Do you guys think this swap will be pretty much straight forward? I have an 03 LX auto... I've been regretting the auto since day one! This might be a really good opportunity for me! Also I have 26k on the car, so that would pretty much void the warrenty huh? er.. all thats left of it anyway
