Just an opinion...but if you get the chance to go over the work you did in black primer it might help you find a trade down the road or just look better driving it daily. When you offered it to me awhile back the shock of all that bright ass primer turned me away quick. But that's just my opinion and you know what they say about those. :biglaugh: Still wouldn't be a bad manual swap candidate though...so GET-R-DONE!

i did an auto to manual swap on my 94 civic dx hatch about a year ago. I have kind of a build thread on here ( http://stlhondas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7055 ) that has some pics in it that could be helpful. honestly, its not too bad of a swap. stuff i can think of off the top of my head that you'll need would be:

- pedal assembly (you can use your auto ones and add a clutch but its not recommended since the auto brake pedal is fatter)
- clutch line
- master cylinder
- tranny
- slave cylinder
- shift linkage
- shifter
- shift knob
- probably will want a new center console for a 5 speed
- gauge cluster w/ a tach is nice
plus all the random stuff you'll need like the linkage bushing, shifter bushings, rubber boot around the shifter, shift boot, bitch pin, i'm sure other small things.

also, when you pull the auto shifter out you'll want to seal the massive hole in your floor board thats there. i just used a peice of sheet metal and a few bolts along w/ some adhesive and silicone to seal mine.

i can't remember everything off the top of my head right now, but there are a bunch of threads out there you can use for help. or, if you would like, feel free to pm me any questions and i'll try and help you out.
