When I have done this its best to get all you need at one time from a auto salvage yard or look for a donor car (best choice) (swap meet) of the same year as yours. I would expect to pay $200.00 at a salvage yard for this stuff. You would provide the labor cause most shops would charge a ton to do it..1930fcoupe
It would be in a shop manual from DISCOUNTAUTOREPAIRMANUALS.COM or I would look for a like car on a used car lot and see how it is run.
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.
By selling this car and buying another one with a manual. Unless you have a donor car, with all the parts, this would be cost prohibitive.
In the past a manual transmission equipped vehicle would always get better fuel mileage. But on cars built in the last 5 years that is not always true. There are some vehicles where the A/T equipped vehicle gets as good or better fuel mileage than a manual. Especially cars equipped with a CVT automatic transmission.
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?
yes

Sell your auto and buy a manual car.
Why would want to do that ? Manual transmission own.
your dumb
$1,000 to $1,500 if you do the work yourself.
Yes, it would be a lot of work, though.
It will cost between $1500 and $3000 to change your automatic transmission to a manual transmission. The price is dependent upon the type of manual transmission.
well if everything matched up I have a 95 accord ex I want to change from automatic to manual we could swap trannies. Carlsei@msn.com
First it would help to know if it is an automatic or a manual trans, then the question would be easier to answer.
Engines with automatic chokes also usually have an automatic throttle which is supposed to run the engine at the best speed. Changing the choke would probably also require coming up with some way to change the throttle.
Without a donor car, the cost will be enormous. This is a very bad idea. Trade cars and get a manual.
