Tranny swap?

By zachman078
- Thu Jan 28, 2010 5:10 am #171643 I've bought a 1993 civic dx and am very pleased, BUT... it's auto!!! :x Not pleased with that. What manual tranny can I mate to the D15B7? If this has already been posted, my apoligies, but would appreciate the link.

- Fri Jan 29, 2010 4:20 am #171846 There's a lot more to swapping in a manual in place of an auto.

You will need:
-Transmission, duh.
-Shifter and linkage.
-Manual transmission mount.
-Clutch master cylinder (CMC), reservoir, and slave cylinder (CSC).
-Clutch pedal assembly, and manual transmission brake pedal assembly.
-Flywheel (as opposed to a flexplate in an auto).
-Clutch, duh.
-Some sort of fluid line from the CMC to the CSC.
-Manual ECU (match it to your engine, whatever it is).
--I'm not sure how it is in the D-series ECUs, but in the B18B1 automatic ECU, there is a resistor that you desolder and remove and it becomes a manual ECU. I'd be arsed to remember which resistor it is.
-Manual center console.
-Manual cluster if you want to complete the look.

And about a week or so to do the swap...

- Fri Jan 29, 2010 5:24 am #171853 well...i was thinkin about doin an engine swap. Throw in a D16Y8 with the five speed stick and all. It all comes in one "big" package, so i guess i'll just throw down a couple hundred more and get the whole package. there are all kinds of write-ups for the swap, so... sound like a good idea? It'll be about five months, but i'll get the bread.

- Fri Jan 29, 2010 2:13 pm #171884 I'd do some research on the D16y8 swap (0bd2) vs the D16z6 (obd1) vs just the ex/si tranny & a mini-me swap (cheapest option)

how much do you want to do work wise and what's your budget?
