Honestly you can get a 96-97 GSR for the price of the swap. There is way more to this than just swapping the tranny. Your total cost of doing this and doing it correctly is about $5000-$7000. You will need tranny, tranny mounts, axles, flywheel from the manual car, ECU from the manual car, COMPLETE wiring harness from the manual car, shift linkages, shifter, shift boot, center console to accept the shifter, the three pedal assembly because the size and placement of the brake in the automatic will not allow the clutch pedal to operate properly, clutch master cylinder, hydraulic lines, and someone that has done this swap before. I cannot stress this enough GET A PROFESSIONAL TO DO THIS!!!! You will be putting your life as well as others at risk with a junk install and used parts.
To get started, look for as much information (manuals, repair guides) as possible on the 92 Integra. You will need a good source of many different parts and tools so start looking online for some catalogs.
Just change the transmission.
But honestly your better off buying a Manual tranny car.
The cost to do this outweighs the value.
In fact you can probably get a newer car (1997 integra) for the price off the swap
It will take a lot of work...You will have to change many other items such as wiring harness, computer (cars that come with auto trans. have a certain computer strategy that uses feedback from sensors on the trans. and without that feedback it would cause problems) , fly wheel,axles, maybee even steering column if the brackets for the clutch pedal are on the column.... Honestly its not worth the expense or trouble....It would also take some other modifications to the car.
It's a pretty expensive proposition..... first - you have to buy the 5 speed transmission and the clutch.... then you have to install the clutch and change out all the pedals.... and you will have to change out some of the engine control electronics.... Best bet? take it to Midas and get the Auto transaxle fixed and then sell it and buy a GS with a manual or keep it....
i just did this and no its not going to cost that much granted this was a hand full of years ago i swaped mine from auto to maual in 6 hours converted my ecu over and got it on the road again no problems
Unless you are a certified technition i would not attempt a project this advanced.
