Thread on Manual conversion?
Ok, please don't flame me for asking this...
Looking to see if Tozo posted a thread following his manual swap?
My trans is fairly weak, and rather than spend 5k on putting in another one that will fail, I would like to spend that money towards a manual conversion.
My first hybridism of my car is on it's way and I will be posting info about my S8 brake conversion for any that are interested.
Thanks in advance for any information that can be given as to which trans I will need to get.
I'm assuming the drive shaft will need to be changed as well, and possibly the rear end.

Don't worry about getting flamed here for asking a question. We're all grown ups.

Re: Here is the official thread
Thank you very much for info!
Looks like I'm gonna have my work cut out for me, and I'll be driving the CRX a little more than I'd like for quite some time.
Time to start gathering LOTS of parts.
Looking forward to sharing info on upgrades as I perform them.

Re: Well, if you buy mine you can save a lot of time and $$$$.
Tempting, although I build rather than buy all my projects.
How exactly would you even put a price on all your hard work?? What would venture to say you would ask for it?

I don't know how much it would worth.
It's a 97' with 147K miles so it worth $3500. Well it has new control arms, S8 brakes. S8 suspension, S8 sway bars, S8 Recaro seats, D3 A8 wheels with new tires and all the other gadgets nav, fridge, rear view camera, brand new full size 17" 5 spoke spare, brand new custom paint job, thicker heated steering wheel and a bunch more so I don't know how much it would worth, but I might be ready to buy something else.
