You would need a 5spd ECU as well. Very impractical, fairly expensive, not worth it at all on this type of car.

 

The Canadian OZ auto has the invects sportshifter (as mentioned earlier) it would be interesting to see what is involved in a tranny swap...I think the down side is that the invects is decently heavier than the US automatic.

 

Hey my friend has the same problem too....he wants to convert his honda civic to manual...

I was thinking if you can buy a jdm engine gsr which comes already with the ECU and the transmission(run you about 3-4 Grand), all you would need is the clutch and gearbox....right??? After that, all you need to worry about is labor.

 

TwiNpnOy84, I hate to rain on ur parade... but there is a BIG difference between a Civic and a Lancer. Civic has a ton of aftermarket support and also has high interchangability in parts whereas the lancer doesnt. Making a Civic a manual isnt as easy as making a Lancer manual.

 

Lucky bastard i bought my car and im the one paying for it....jessh i wish my parents would pay for stuff like that

 

Well then..couldnt you go to the junk yard and find a wrecked honda civic or somethin and strip all that junk you need to make your car a manual??

 

i gotta go with everyone's response. trade it in

 

yes trade it in for teh 04 lancer
