What is the difference between a 5 speed manual and a 6 speed automatic?
A manual transmission will require a driver operated clutch pedal to shift gears, and thus allow for shifting on demand as opposed to waiting for a computer to determine shift points. An automatic transmission uses computer algorithms to determine shift points based upon engine load, speed, and overall fuel economy. More driveline drag exists with an automatic transmission because of more moving parts, and thus an automatic will typically have slightly lower fuel economy than a manual transmission equipped vehicle.
Why would an Acura Integra get stuck in parking?
Several reasons. 1- bad neutral safefty switch. both automatic and manual transmission cars have one if it is automatic then the switch is on the brake pedal. If it is a manual, it is on the clutch. If this switch is bad, the Automatic transmission is stuck in park. Check the brake pedal for the plastic piece the switch presses against. Make sure it's still there. If not, the price of the fixing just got lower! (yay) If It's not the switch, you need a shop to fix it.

There is no relay for the backup lights.

The switch is on the front of the manual transmission, and on the lower front of the automatic.
How does semi automatic transmission in a car work?
Semi automatic transmission is usually the one which is fitted into a car with manual transmission. The manual transmission requires pressing clutch to change gears or to stop. If you don't press clutch pedal and change the gear, it will do a serious damage to your gear box. In semi automatic transmission system, the clutch is very much in place, but the only difference is you don't have to do it manually. It has a motor and an electronic device that senses the speed, the gear change and brake pressure and then presses or depresses clutch automatically. Advantage of this system is you can take the pleasure of automatic transmission in a manual vehicle. The semi automatic systems however has some flaws. If need to get used to it a bit. You have keep rpm pretty high in this system. Taking a start motion in first gear could be a problem. If rpm is on a bit lower side, you clearly feel the lag while driving. It is a system best suited to physically challenged drivers who have problem using one of the feet. Of course, the better alternative is fully automatic transmission that does away with the clutch altogether. But is far more expensive and is available only in select models.
Can you convert an automatic transmission to a manual in a 1994 Acura Integra and if you can what changes need to be made?
Yes, it is possible to convert a manual into an automatic. I converted my automatic integra into a manual. It runs smooth as silk. To tell you the truth and not to discurage you, it would be easier to sell your manual or even trade it for somebodys automatic. There are many Integra lovers that would love to get their hands on a manual. If this is not possible here it goes. It will be even more expensive to convert to an automatic than it is to convert to a manual.Why? There are more electoronic components involved versus the manual.(sensors, shift lock, ect.) These are the parts: 1: Automatic transmission with sensors 2: torque converter and plate 3: automatic mid shaft(manual's is different) 4: shift cable 5: automatic pedal set (brake and gas) 6: automatic shifter complete with interlock switch and harness 7: automatic cluster 8: automatic ecu 9: automatic flywheel cover 10: rear transmission bracket and the lower transmission bracket( the manual ones is different ( trust me I know) You will also need the top transmission mount and the top transmission frame bracket that you can purchase at Acura for about $50. You will have to cut the manual off the frame, grind the welds down and weld the auto bracket in place. 11: You will need a wheel saw to cut away at the center console where the manual shifter is. you need to make room for the manual shifter and the shift cable 12: The center shift console needs to be changed as well. The manual one is smaller. 13: You need the auto flywheel plate bolts, the manual one are longer. 14: you need the automatic starter as well. 15: you need the automatic radiator, the manual one does not have the tranny oil cooler in it. 16: The only other thing brother is the electrical. You need to run two wires to the shift lock, the reverse wires to the auto shifter, the cruise controll to the auto shifter and you should be set and ready to cruise. Now the only thing left is for who to do the install?
