Default Swapping transmissions?

I'm thinking of swapping out my auto for a 5-speed sometime down the road. How easy is this to do? What other parts other than the tranny do I need to swap out (ECU, dash, etc.)? It's a 1988 Prelude 2.0Si 4WS.

Thanks!

its prolly gonna cost you more to do the swap then to just sell ur car and buy a 5spd
look into just getting a 5spd lude instead of going through all the trouble
IF u really wanna do the AT-MT swap it's gonna be parts PLUS labor
ecu needs to be changed, more than likely ur cluster as well
good luck man

It might end up costing $400-500 if you DIY.

i would probably do it if there were any 6-speed close ratio MT available.
