Default auto to stick

I got a 93 civic ex. It is nice but it has a auto in it right now. i would like to know what i need to buy and what i may need to do to get it to a stick. Beside the trany. If you could tell what the prices would be for the things that i would have to buy that would help alot.

You also need to be able to weld or you have to buy a place racing or HCP upper tranny mount. The passenger side frame rail bracket is in a different place on the auto's.

my car is a former automatic turned standard. dont do it, its not worth it. just sell your car and buy a standard, then spend the money you are saving for the conversion and put it toward better parts.

i disagree, although i havent done this to my car yet, i have friends that have done it, and know of plenty of people that have done it, and their cars are holding up fine

the price of the conversion isnt much, i peiced together the entire conversion for my car, for a mere 300$, you just gotta look for the parts in the right place..

its all going to depend on who you take the car to get done by, they should tell you how long it will take, go ask around..

start looking for parts in the classifieds, its common sense..
