- Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:43 pm #265198 any manual transmission from 92-95 will work. You will need: tranny, clutch/flywheel/pressure plate, ECU, starter, auto to manual conversion mount ( http://www.innovativemounts.com/Product ... Code=49520 ), front manual tranny mount, clutch slave cylinder, clutch master cylinder with resevoir(i suggest one from an Integra due to the resevoir and cylinder being attached), all hydro lines from tranny to master cylinder, pedals(clutch and brake), shift linkage, shifter, shift knob, shifter bushings, flywheel cover plate, connector for the reverse lights on the manual trans.

most of this can be found at a local junkyard.

there are plenty of boosted d's around. just make sure your motor is in a condition to handle the boost(compression/leakdown test, etc...)

- Thu Jul 28, 2011 4:34 am #265310 ^^this. It took me longer to do the pedals than anything else. Everything else goes like butta. If you have everything together before you do it, it can be done in under a day even for a light/medium skilled mechanic. You don't even have to pull the engine if you don't want to.

- Thu Jul 28, 2011 4:45 am #265314 It cost me 600ish to do it, but I bought brand new everything. The junkyard is where you wanna go to get this stuff on the cheap. Just so long as it looks good, the most expensive thing you'll have to shell for is the adapter mount. It's almost pathetically easy to do. How to with pics:
