DC5 Manual conversion - HELP

[lcam]

Hi guys,

I have DC5, semi auto. I want to convert to manual. I DO NOT WANT TO SELL IT. I just want to simply get some advice/ suggestions on doing so. If anyone has done this please let me know. I am willing to spend on it but i cant make it any clearer, I DO NOT WANT TO SELL AND BUY A MANUAL. My car is in perfect condition and plan on keeping it...

cheers :D

Go to a wrecker, Buy a gearbox with all shift linkages and shifter console & pedal box, take it to a mechanic & return 2 weeks later and pay him $5000 and BAM!!!! you got yourself a manual DC5!

You'd also have to look into getting a manual ECU.

Basically, if you want to do it, it won't be cheap, or easy... and ultimately it would be cheaper and easier to buy a manual DC5R.

good on ya buddy!
youll need quite a few things but generally its the gearbox shiftlinkage and ECU, im not familiar with the dc5's but its not as hard as people will make it out to be, just source your parts slowly, and find the right mechanic that you trust!

[45SET]

Are you looking for a 6-speed or 5-speed?

[namski]

I just don't see why you wouldn't want to sell it and upgrade to a Type R/S but I guess people can get attached to one car and it becomes their baby!

There's so many extras you get for the upgrade.

[Nepolian]

Unfortunately there is not pro in converting a base teg to manual, except maybe self satisfaction.

Budget 4-5ks for this, then you want more power and wished you had a Type R or S.

[joe.teg]

if you do the job yourself you will half the price man

i know its no comparison but i had a holden vl calais which i converted myself and im tellin u if a mechanic had to do that job i would have been up for more than i paid for the parts in labour

if you have the skills do it yourself but the pedal box can be a bit of a problem :o

[Ray_mon]

I'm guessing it's to the 5speed. It's a base DC5.

[burak213]

just keep it as is, once you want to sell, sell it and get a type S/R

[Type S Tony]

If you do this job yourself, Guarateed the car will be of the road for minimum 2 weeks! and at the end of it all youll be at a set of traffic lights, and low & behold an FN2R civic pulls up next to you & some greasy scum bag is driving it with his mrs next to him, and he gives you the look to go him! the lights go green and this FN2 pulls away from you, not only will you loose the stop & go but youll let this FN2 owner think his the bees knees and youll prob feel like crap cause you didnt have that extra grunt that the R & S has to put FN2 owners in their place, uno? show them were they belong, which should always be on the rear bumper of an Integra, Do u really wanna discrace DC5's everywere by not being able to pull away from an FN2?????? well do ya??????

Thats what I thought! give ur current ride to your Mrs and buy something thats actually worth spending money on!

[burak213]

in b4 ep3R owners come to the thread

[Type S Tony]

in b4 ep3R owners come to the thread

FN2-R = Latest Civic Type R.................. I think?

[burak213]

yea the ep3r are faster

[Type S Tony]

never said anything about EP3-R's, I only have it out for FN2 drivers!

[dwn_boi]

personally i wouldnt do it!! my gf converted her car to manual (after i warned her several times not to) she spent 5k+ and ended up with the duddest of all cars ever!! her car was fine!!! now it has idle probs, comp probs, clutch probs, gearbox probs, the probs never end!!! and out of all that happened she didnt keep any recipepts!!!!

if ur gunna go thru with it mke sure u got it written down with proof in case anything goes wrng!!!

[seihoa]

lol i did a conversion b4 but for a nissan roughly 2k in n out with new clutch.
everything was fine. didnt even have to change the ecu but u can if u want... i ended up changing it a few weeks down as the manual ecu has a more aggressive tune i think lol.

labour should be arnd 700-1000

why do you hate fn2's for they're slow, heavy and have less power, they just look fkn nice


I hear Tony's good with working a knob...

the thing is, while he is working on the knob, i can go to his glovebox and take his gearbox bushings and install it in mine :P

[45SET]
