auto to manual - is it worth it?

I've got a friend who is fed up with her 90 crx cuz of engine problems. She is thinking about just selling it to the junkyard for $250. Its clean and has a nice straight body. Im thinkin about buying it from her, but its got an auto tranny and id rather shoot myself than drive an automatic civic. would this be hard to convert to manual? Its such a good deal id hate to pass it up, but its not worth it if i cant convert it.

If you're willing to spend the $ to do it, then yes it's definently worth it. If anything you could do it and sell it.

i did it on my car time consuming but def worth it
here is some of the parts you need
pedals
clutch cable
tranny
rear, front, side mounts
shifter and linkages w/all mounting brackets
flywheel w/bolts
clutch set . plate and disc
ecu
and wiring

axles maybe i reused mine

maybe worth it to find a manual for that much with engine problems...

i say go for it if thats what u wanna do, anything is worth the time and money, if its truley what you wanna do and youll be happy with it :smile:

Ive done one, its not too difficult. I say go for it, its one less automatic CRX.

seems like for that price its worth of an engine swap, so you can do the engine and tranny at the same time - if ur not doing a swap i'd abuse the auto till it breaks lol

Well worth it. Better on gas, WAY more fun to drive, and a lot faster.

When I had an AUTO ZC, a 5 speed Si would keep up with me. The gearing makes up for over 15hp. Its crazy.
