Well what would you all suggest then,since you are all ALL KNOWING.He said he was keeping it automatic,so now what then?
GL finding a GSR Auto tranny,since they are hard as hell to find.

Fuck that Swapping auto to 5spd,it's a fuckin waste when you can do it right the first time and BUY a car that is 5spd.

Sell your automatic Civic and buy a 5spd.Then save up for a motor swap.
Problem solved.
