- Sun Jun 20, 2010 4:08 am #201208 Whats up i havent posted here before but I have a few questions. Before that i drive a 94 civic hatch and i love it but its auto and i feel like i may fall asleep driving it.haha, I know you will probably just tell me to search it but i have and it would really help me if someone could specifically answer my questions. Thanks

First, a list of everything i need to complete this. please be as specific as possible. im just starting to get into this and sort of need as much help as i can get. haha

Second, how much will this all cost me? Im 17 and i dont have all the money in the world.

Thanks, im sure you guys were once where im at and were just sorta lost

5 spd Trans
p28 ecu (manual)
clutch master cylinder
clutch slave cylinder
pedal assembly
clutch lines, or the Earl's conversion ss braided clutch line
manual starter & long bolt
passenger side conversion mount
rear mount
lower front tranny mount
Manual Flywheel bolts (auto ones are too short)
flywheel, Clutch & Pressure Plate (obviously)
pilot bearing
release bearing
linkage & shifter & bushings, bitch pin, bolts, knob, dust boot
You'll need to wire in the reverse lights and clutch pedal switch
A tach is also recommended if your current auto cluster does not have one.

Finding a wrecked 5 speed car to grab the parts from will be the easiest. The dealership will get expensive fast!

teal_dx-thanks that's exactly what i needed.

i really don't want to sell the car because its in such great condition and also honestly my parents would be pissed considering i just bought it. Swapping out the transmission will give me something to do this summer also and ill definitely learn more about my car this way then just buying a new one.
