Transmission Conversion

[pahiyaka]

hey im new here.. anyway..

I own a Civic 1996 VTI as a gift from my parents(college). Nung unang dating ng kotse tuwang tuwa ako.. pag bukas ko ng door mejo na dismaya ako sabi ko sa sarili ko "ay MATIC.." pero la na ako magagawa bigay lang naman eh.. gusto ko sana pa convert to manual.. possible ba?

if YES possible.. here are my Q's.

1. First of all ung costing syempre. (surplus and the mamahalin)

2. Mga gamit na kelangan(parts, brand name etc..).

3. San ok mag pa convert? ung katiwatiwala and REASONABLE mag price.

4. if successful ung conversion.. ano ung magiging drawbacks?

un na lng muna cguro mga tanong ko..

kaya ko gusto magpa convert kasi gusto ko sana setup/tune ung car. ehh nababduyan kasi ako pag kunwari lakas lakas ng kotse nagpa turbo ka pa at supercharger pero nyak automatic pala. kaya sana manual tlga.

additional lang.. Mas ok ba na mag hanap ako sa market ng conversion kit OR mag hanap ako ng same car pero ung owner gusto mag pa convert to automatic naman, bali trade lang kami ng transmission, pag ganon ba scenario sino mag bibigay ng plus bayad?

please wag na mag post ng mga unnecessary comments. (e.g. just buy a new car)

if may mga tao na same car sakin pero manual at gusto mag pa convert to automatic and willing trade na lng ng transmission PM me.. tnx

Alam ko napakamahal ng conversion and its nmot even worth considering, your best recourse is to swap that to someone who prefers an automatic...

sir mahirap yung gusto mo mangyari na swap tranny with another that has the m/t... conversion, yes thats possible. pero hindi lang tranny ang prob mo... pati center console kasi mas malaki yung butas ng a/t sa m/t.

yung m/t bihira lang naman masira yung 2nd hand kaya ok lang. if your planning to tune the car... ill suggest get the race type clutch na. i forgot whats it called pero its stiffer than the OEM's...

this can cost you a good 50k give or take... kaya sana sugest ko to get rid of the car then just go ahead and buy the m/t baka 99 or 00 model pa makuha mo.

edit: welcome to tsikot sir

OT: get the LXi variant na lang kasi kung tune ka... sure papalitan mo yan ng d15b or the b series...

from what i heard with my uncle that is a mechanic and know how to convert transmissions, its gonna cost a 100k petot very costy. if im on your shoes, id sell it and buy a new civic with m/t. but off course with the permission of parents kakahiya naman dba.. hehe

its gonna cost a 100k petot very costy.

i doubt it can reach a 100k for the conversion... kung brand new siguro papalit pwede pa... pero for a 2nd hand m/t conversion, too much yung 100k.
