Ok I made a big mistake and bought a 98 ex auto, now hears the question how much would it cost to swap in a stick, I mean the total price: tranny and everything

 

around 800 including labor

 

off topic but where in FL do you live



you bought the whole engine?! what engine are you running right now?!

 

depends on how you do it. I spent about 400 and did it myself...

 

parts includin tranny would be around 4-7 bills and labor is rated here in my area at 80 bukks an hour, average bout several hours. around 11-1500 i say.

i say get the parts and do it ur self, i did one on a 97 civic auto. easy. just had to drill a hole for the shift linkage.

late

 

I live in Southwest FL

 

and i bought a 98 civic not just the motor

 

hey how hard would it be to install myself?

 

really and that would be were...ft lauderdale, west palm, miami, the keys?!

 

I blew up my first tranny at 30k miles...bought a new one for 150 and put it in myself. But if you were gonna do the auto/manual swap you'd need some extra stuff. I'd still say that you could keep it under 400 if you did the labor yourself. Oh yeah i blew up my 2nd tranny too and i didn't wanna do the labor so it ended up costing me around 350 including a new clutch....good thing sohc trannys are dirt cheap. Make sure you get a EX or 5th gen SI, the LX's and DX's have not so great gearing unless you are boosting
