DIY AUTO TO MANUAL 02 ‘VIC EX 4 DR
Parts List:
transmission
ECU
Shifter with cables
guage cluster
master cylinder
Slave Cylinder
manual transmission speed sensor
starter
Axles
clutch pedal assembly
Flywheel
sub frame/lower engine cradle
transmission motor mount Rear and Left
clutch
dash harness
engine harness
Various bolts from Honda (flywheel, clutch)

Most of the parts I got either from ebay (Honda parts unlimited) or car-part.com. I used the ETM Honda manual for all of this (http://www.xproductionz.com/servicem...Civic0105.zip).
First take out the automatic transmission. Remove the dashboard, center console, shifter assembly, and shift cables. When removing the transmission, take out the sub frame and engine harness completely. The end links on the front sway bar can be a $%^$. I cut them with a hacksaw because I ordered Dezod’s end links. Install the new shifter, cables, and brake pedal. The clutch pedal needs to be cutout. Luckily Honda uses generic bodies for both auto and manual. The cutouts are there. Just use a 2 inch hole saw and drill and make a hole for the master cylinder and clutch pedal bolts. You also have to use a die grinder and cut into the inner fender for the master cylinder to fit correctly. Then just bolt up the flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch and transmission following steps in the manual. Inside install the new dash harness and computer, then just put everything back together including the new cluster. Run the new engine harness after you install the transmission. Then take your car to the dealer to get the key flashed because the new ECU will not recognize your key.
