ek convert from m/t to a/t

[[archie]]

good day po mga ka-tsikot:

may naging injury po ako that prevents me from driving m/t in traffic for long periods of time.

i love my car and im hesitant to sell it.

may nagsabi sakin possible daw convert from m/t to a/t. now here are my questions:

1. mas ok daw kung may katrade ako na oto ng tranny... ano ano mga kailangan ko? or do i just find someone that wants m/t? how much would it cost me?

2. is it advisable? is it worth the trouble?

3. or benta then bili ng a/t?

4. other suggestions?

thanks, BTW car is civic LXi 2000 model

you're going to sell your civic ?

sayang naman. pero, hassle talaga yung palitan ng tranny eh. baka hindi pa maperfect.

option number 3 ako, archie. if mahal na mahal mo talaga yung car mo, it's either find a driver pansamantala or buy an A/T car for the meantime then sell it nalang pag gumaling ka na.

ganda pa naman ng civic mo. sayang.

puede kung puedeng i-convert ang m/t to a/t. but it is probably still cheaper and a lot easier to just buy an a/t car, civic or otherwise. and selling your m/t civic won't be a problem, because the model is quite sellable.

oo naman mahal ko oto ko, isang decada na sakin ito. dami na kami pinagsamahan. driver?? out of the question... wala akong pangbayad sa driver, baka kikitain ko sa isang buwan sa driver lang mapunta at walang panggas. haha. and yung injury ko, hindi pa sure kung magagawan pa ng paraan na mawala yung pain sa driving.

ako din nasasayangan pero parang im left without a choice. either sell it or convert.

yun din nasaisip ko, hindi pa naman close utak ko sa benta or convert, i want to know other suggestions pa. hay! damn injury... i have to make a bold move soon kasi if not, ill be the one suffering.

yun din sabi sakin, sellable yung oto ko. sariwa pa naman. ewan ko na lang kung hindi ko pa mabenta ito if ever.

any other suggestion or vote? keep them coming.

[fullmetal]

sell tapos bili nalang ng a/t sir. sakit pa sa ulo ung pag-convert pag nagkataon

oo nga hassle pa convert and the mileage will also change kasi pati gauge palit.

mukang no choice na nga.

[voltscastillo]

you'll need the tranny, the box, bit of rewire, pedals, shifter, center console, instrument cluster with PRDD1D2 indicators, hydrovac, 2-core radiator and labor. pati pala bakal para takpan yung butas na iiwan nung clutch pedal.

matagal ko na din tinatanong ito. pero para sa CRV ko nun. i ended up selling the car na lang, ehhehe.

pero given adequate funding, i'll go straight to engine swap na automatic na.

tapos bili ng surplus cluster, console and shifter (with working lights) sa capalangan pampanga (chop shop).

[PSI]

ala idol... sell the car na lang... baka di pa maperfect....malugi ka pa

[yapoy86]

sa dami ng papalitan sa conversion laking sakit ng ulo yan.. better sell and buy an A/T car.. mas sure ka na dyan kesa conversion.. yung iba nga conversion to M/T ginagawa nag kukulang pa sa parts eh..

let go of the civic and buy what you need.. hindi naman collectors item yan eh.. teka permanent ba or temporary lang ang injury?? kung temporary lang pagaling ka muna

actually nagtanong na ko sa mech dati pero sabi niya kaya pero hindi niya gagawin. hehehe ayaw niya daw ng mga conversion. mukang may kalakihan pala gagastusin ko, parang nakakawalang gana na.

siguro ill end up din selling the car. pero nagiisip pa rin for now.

major concern talaga yung kulangin sa conversion. just thinking of selling the car makes me a little sad pero i got to do what i got to do...

im not hopeful gagaling anytime soon. its still a mystery kung gagaling o hindi. its been since feb this year and until now hirap magclutch kaya kailangan ko na ng options. hay!

[yapoy86]

well kung coconvert ka kasi eto mga kailangan mo.
>A/T trannsmission with torque converter
>Flywheel
>Pedal Hanger
>computer box for the A/T (sa engine baka kailangan mo din kasi iba yata ng profile ng A/T engine sa M/T)
>shifter and center console and cable

yung instrument cluster kahit wala pwede..

swap ka na lang sa same model na A/T..

yun ang mahirap, marami rami kailangan gawin. im leaning to go with sell the car. baka magkandalokoloko pa sa conversion. kahit throttle body kailangan din palitan, masyado madugo na. sa gagastusin ko baka makakuha ako 2nd hand na higher model pa.

yun din isa pa option, find someone who has an a/t ek na gusto m/t and swap everything. less hassle daw ito.

[voltscastillo]

yeah pwede yun pero why bother... the EK is not a particularly rare car... madami fine, fresh examples running around jan kung san san... in this context, mas maganda na siguro yung benta mo then buy a true A/T.

add ka siguro 50-70K.

pero kung upgrade talaga habol mo... go straight to engine swap. a b16 with a/t (alam ko meron nito) comes with everything you need na. it's an upgrade na din and you get to use the rest of your car. o kaya yung mga older series engines na galing japan, like the d15b (medyo rare na daw to ngayon).

[[archie]]

wala naman ako balak upgrade. stock is the best form for me lalo na kung daily driven. hindi naman dahil rare or something yung reason ko kung bakit ayaw ko benta. the only reason is the sentimental value and the condition of the car i kept it in. pero non of that matter kung kaya ko lang gawin titigan and drive ng madaling araw and hating gabi.

acutally, i dont have much budget kung palit. i would prefer to buy 2nd hand as of the same value ng car ko then use some of my money for future maintenance. hirap maglabas ng 50k-70k then walang pera pang pagawa. unless may magbigay ng pangupgrade. hehe

i think its a solid sell the car option. parang no point nga to keep the car and convert.

edit: anyone wants to buy my car? hehe

hindi ka na ba ulit makaka-recover from your injury? hindi ka na rin talaga makaka-drive ng M/T in the future? commute nalang muna sir. kita ko yung kotse niyo, alagang-alaga. sayang eh.

[ben_david19]

sir kung yung injury niyo let us say will take around only months to recover from it, then keep the car lang.

if you won't be able to recover an sooner from your injury, then sell your car and get an A/T car. conversion is a hassle trust me boss.

hindi pa clear kung gagaling o hindi. im not hopeful na gagaling pa. sayang talaga sir, kaya hesitant ako benta. but as the previous posts indicate, its better to sell and buy an a/t.

if i wait, ill be immobile for the time na injured ako and indefinite yung time frame eh. i need to decide before the month end. im leaning over the sell part.

indefinite yung time frame ng recovery. dati gumaling na then bumalik after a week. more aggressive measures were take, wala pa rin. if the doctor could tell me na gagaling ako in lets say 3 months, ill not sell. kaso... wala sila masabi kung gagaling pa.

kahit yung mech na trusted ko sabi, kaya gawin kaso ayaw niya kasi madugo daw conversion. haha

[jeDi13]

sell-the-car-buy-an-A/T option gets majority of the votes here over conversion. best route sa situation niyo sir ngayon. anyway, good luck sir sa magiging desisyon niyo.

[[archie]]

its decided na, selling the car! no choice na talaga. thanks sa mga nginput.
