i had a 94 civic with an dead auto tranny and i opted to get a conversion because i really loved that car even for an auto i went to three tranny shops in town 2 of them sed they wouldnt touch it,"too big of a hassel i was told"the third sed yeak ok we can do it .for the low low price of $3,000 i ended up just buying a new car.plus an 92'acura for 900 bucks is a good idea but you could just get an better one for the amount of money your going to pay for that conversion...
