How does a semi automatic car gearbox work in comparison to a auto or manual?
Mjking
A semi automatic would allow you to shift manually when up shifting for performance. A lot of cars appear to let you do that but, a semi automatic will shift into that gear instantly. Not when it wants to.

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?

What is the difference between auto and manual GEARBOXES?
Automatic and Manual gearboxes are essentially the same, except that the driver does the shifting for a manual gearbox(my personal preference), and a computer shifts for an automatic gearbox.

Can a Skyline GTR have a clutch and be automatic?
No. For a start, the Skyline GTR comes with a manual gearbox - 5 speed in the case of the R32 and R33, and 6 speed in the R34. The reason the answer is no is that with a manual gearbox the engine (essentially the crankshaft) is connected to the gearbox via the clutch, where the clutch is (for the sake of argument) two plates that rub together becoming fully locked when the pedal is all the way out and not touching each other/totally separated when the pedal is all the way in. With an automatic gearbox - that is, a true automatic gearbox - the engine is connected to the gearbox by a torque converter INSTEAD OF a clutch. The torque converter is basically a vat of viscous fluid connected to the gearbox with a fan/propeller like implements inside it - engine spins and transfers rotational motion to the gearbox by the propeller spinning in the fluid. (this explanation has been somewhat simplified here). Now, where things get a bit weird is where manufacturers start talking about "semi auto/tiptronic" boxes or "sequential manual" boxes. Without going into two much detail, there are broadly two types. Semi autos are often just automatic gearboxes with a manual override (still a torque converter but you can put the box into manual mode where you select the gear). These are generally very smooth like true auto boxes. Sequential manuals are a manual gearbox with two solenoids to control shifting and one to control clutch (they are a real manual gearbox, so do have a clutch). Many of these have an automatic mode, but are not as smooth as auto boxes when in that auto mode. Neither of these types of boxes generally have a "clutch pedal" - the auto box based one doesn't have a clutch and with the manual box based one, the gearbox automatically disengages the clutch when you come to a stop to prevent stalling. The Skyline has neither of these (only a true manual gearbox with a stick and a clutch pedal). Hope that helps.
