Thank guys for all your useful input, keep it coming. I would love to convert it to a manual, do any of you know how much money it would set me back. Also, is there a post on hond-acura.net or a book that could give me a step by step walkthrough on converting my auto into a stick? If any one of you would like to reply with what exactly needs to be done for the conversion, which would be much appreciated as well.
