I finally finished my manual swap :giggity:
Since there is still a lot of questions flying around concerning this project, especially the issues involved, as well as what is needed to avoid issues later on....
Here is a list & procedure of all the parts I used to make it into a complete Manual car (mechanical and electrical)
THIS WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE AUTOMATIC 02-04 GENERATIONS, I HAVE NO IDEA CONCERNING THE AUTOMATIC 05-06 GENERATIONS
Blue text will represent the parts I decided to upgrade with aftermarket products, you can use the OEM ones for those.
INTERIOR
5-speed Dash Harness (32117-S6M-A00)
5-speed ECU (37820-PND-A01 thru A09)
02-04 Type-S Cluster
Revo Short Shift Kit (5-Speed)
K-Tuned Billet Shifter Arm
JDM FD2 Civic Type R 6 Speed Shift Knob
JDM center console + Ebrake you will need the USDM shift boot piece ONLY if you decide to stay OEM
Type-s Brake Pedal (sensor can be reused off the auto)
Type-s Clutch Pedal (with sensors) make sure to get the two nuts (94050-08080)
You will have to match the new ECU to your keys and Immobilizer, which means you will have to take it to the dealership.
I was thinking on getting K-pro, but didn't want to spend an extra grand at that moment.....
Since I didn't want to get my car towed to the dealership ( and hope for the best)... I managed to get a good deal
on the K-tuned Immobilizer/Multiplexor By-pass, which works.
ENGINE BAY
5-speed Engine Harness (32110-PND-A00)
Clutch system
Clutch Master Cylinder: 01-05 Civic (46920-S5A-G06) + 46941-S5A-003 (PIN SPRING), 46942-S5A-003 (PIN SNAP)
Clutch Reservoir (46965-S5A-013) + 46971-S6M-A03 TUBE, 46966-S6M-A02 BRACKET, 93403-06012-08 BOLT-WASHER (6X12)
S/S clutch line But... if you decide to go OEM, here is the parts list for the clutch lines
http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org...LINDER&ListAll=All&vinsrch=no&systemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal
Clutch Slave Assembly + attachment bolts (90106-S7A-E00)
Competition Clutch Stage 1.5 Clutch & Ultra Lightweight Flywheel Combo
Pilot Bushing (included in the CC stage 1.5 clutch & flywheel kit)
Release Bearing (included in the CC stage 1.5 clutch & flywheel kit)
Flywheel bolts (90011-PNA-B00) 8 of them
Pressure Plate bolts (90034-689-000) 6 of them
Engine/Transmission mounts
Type-S front Mount (get an extra bolt 90168-S5A-0000)
type-S Manual rear mount BRACKET (50827-S7C-000) with the bolts!! 90166-S7C-000 BOLT, FLANGE (2 of them) & 90165-S7C-000 BOLT, FLANGE ( only 1)
type-S driver's side mount
if you decide to keep your Auto Driver's side mount, you will have to get a custom bracket made to be able to mount it onto the transmission.
In my case, I managed to get ahold of the Manual's driver's side mounting brackets.... IF!!!!! you do this, make sure to get them installed on the frame before you put the transmission back into the engine bay!!!!!
UPDATE!!
Now there is a bracket available for the manual swap :thumbsup:
