the thing about doing it myself is im no car expert. the other thing about selling my car and buying a 5 speed is that ive put alot of money to my car allready like paint job, couple engine modifications, sound system and others and dont wanna have to move it all to my new car if i by a 5 speed. but i have heard of honda-acura specialist out here in the bay area. i kno about three around me soo ima call them up and see if they would do it for me.

oh and another thing, some opinions please. is it better to put down 1 grand for a manual swap or sell my car for a manual which would be cheaper BUT to take out the stuff i added to my current car, make it all stock again except for my damn paint job (which was damn clean too), and re-stuff my new 5 speed in?? im still debating....oh and pay for registration for the car again (it was about 600 for my civic now but i dont know about gettin a 5 speed).
