Default Auto to manual conversion!

What do i need to turn my automatic LS into a 5spd...I know the transmission, shift linkage, and axles. But is there anything else I need and does anyone have one I can buy possibly?

The ECU needs to be converted, I can do that for you for really cheap, like $20 if it's an OBD1 ECU.

Never done it on an integra, but you will need pedals, hydro lines, clutch master/slave cylinders, tranny, a new passenger side motor mount from hasport, and a lot of free time...

ha fun times, if you know what your doing it shouldnt take a long time, me and one of my friends did it in a day and a half....with the tranny mount you gotta cut off the automatic one and weld in the 5spd one...but we never did that and still dont have a mount and the car still runs fine and its boostin

the problem without using the right passenger mount is that your motor will sit at an angle, I actually dropped my motor on the ground at 40mph because I had my motor sitting that way waiting for the mount. I can tell you it is not a good idea not to use the mount.This is not that hard to do, the hardest thing is installing the pedals because it is so tight and you are working in an uncomfortable position...

You don't need different axles. I still run my auto axles with no problem.
