Ok.....so my car now is an automatic. I have never been taught properly on how to drive a 5-speed but have been practicing on a few friends cars so I'm still learning. I am saving for a new engine to drop in my EJ1. When I swap engines, I will more than likely be keeping it automatic (no flaming) til i get to where I can drive a 5 speed real well. I was looking at either the b16a or the b18c1 but didn't know if I could get either with an auto. tranny. Figured yall would know if anybody so.....?

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo and no, no, no no :nono: just buy a 5-speed car... dont waste your money on automatic cars...

 

hm....guessing u didn't read my entire post? i don't know how to drive a 5speed all the well so i was looking to keep it auto until i am

 

learn. It's not worth the time and headache to swap auto... you'd have a harder time trying to learn how to swap an auto, than you would trying to learn how to drive a stick

 

^^^ :werd: I bought my car without even knowing how to drive stick well... I havent killed my clutch yet...

 

best way to learn to drive stick is to own one

 

you can always swap an b18b with the auto tranny or if you have the funds and patience, track down a jdm b18c with an auto tranny. its acutally quite common in japan to have b18c and b16as with auto trannys. but ima go against this and say do a auto-5spd conversion. from my point of view, its easy and well worth it if you gonna do a swap.

 

you can learn to drive a 5spd in a couple days. After you do learn you'll be wishing you had one. If you have a friend with a jeep thats a 5spd, try to learn on it (they are the easiest to learn on).

 

Swap a 5 speed in there. Trust me after about 2-6 hours in your car after it's done you will not have any problems. TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not worth swapping.
Suck it up,sell your car,buy a 5spd!

Then get back to us.

This question can be answered by a simple thing called research....but short answer...

If you get a b16,get an Ls tranny.That might be the easiest to find and will match up with your b16.In case you do not know,when i say LS tranny,it is the tranny from a 94-01 Integra LS.
