Green Civic is an unknown quantity at this point
I think he wants a K20a3 which is the rsx base model. That is the only auto k20. I think they will last just as long as a manual swap. Just really matters how you drive it.

cuz i was thinking of the rsx-s and am aware of them swapping my auto for the six speed but i was just asking if it would last. my friend who is a mechanic told me that since my car is auto, they'd have to weld on a mount for the tranny. anyone have more info on this???

It will last as long in your car as in an rsx. HASport makes a complete swap kit for a k20 into a 7th gen. Should be no welding to mount the motor and tranny.
