I assume this is a n00b and stupid question.
But here goes

Are specific gears from same engine gearboxes transferable?
ie, auto 1st gear be put into a manual 1st gear gearbox from Civic with B16A?

O assume no way no how as manual gears are selected via the gearstick and auto is, well, automatic

But maybe... somehow???

Basically I want a longer 1st gear, and auto's usually/always have longer 1st (and all other gears)

change the 1st gear ratio?
or purchase a whole new gear set?

My manual is a 5 speed
The auto box in the same car is a 4 speed
All gears are taller in the auto and I only want to put 1st to make that one taller in my car
Possible, from auto to manual?

I really doubt u can swap the gearsets, due to the planatery design and torque converter.

Your best option is to source an aftermarket gearset.
