Automatic to manual swap integra

I may be getting inspired, haha. SlushboxTeggy said:. Click to expand Luckily I'm OBD2a. I've always wanted to try doing it with a DA as a parts car. I prefer a cable clutch, it would just be a bitch making sure it was OBD1. But with the price of DCs where they are at now, I could probably still get a real cheap parts car from the appropriate year. I just would prefer a parts car because I don't want to get halfway through this and realize I got the wrong part or forgot to get a part.

The mount I got from Innovative fit just fine. Georgee Sanchez New Member. Yoo you think you can help me out with the wiring for the reverse lights? I never saw this thread before, but great write up. Jeef said:. Man New Member. The majority of pictures included in your write up are gone. Does anyone have the full gallery they can post online?

Just like this. The goal with this project car is to create a decent weekend track car and street cruiser. First up on our to-do list: ditch the automatic transmission.

The slushbox eats horsepower, and with a measly of them, we need every poney we have. The automatic transmission decreases horsepower in three ways: First, because of its viscous coupling that connects the engine to the transmission. Slippage here allows for a smooth take-off from stops, but also means less of that horsepower is making it to the wheels. Second, the transmission pumps fluid to engage and disengage its clutch packs in order to shift its gears.

Creating hydraulic pressure eats horsepower, too. Third are the clutch drums. These take the place of gears in the transmission and weigh a whole lot more.

The first step for more performance with Project RSX then is swapping from the automatic transmission to a manual one. The power-robbing automatic transmission after being yanked from Project RSX.

That means a five-speed transmission, though. But that will have to wait for another article. Make it easy on yourself and get the right one. About those six-speed transmissions; those mean extra wiring.

Without it, finding fifth and sixth gears on the fly can be difficult. They can also be wired to control the lockout. More on that soon. Whether you choose to install a five- or six-speed transmission, either will require parts from a manual-equipped RSX. Most of the time, the five-speed parts will do just fine. For instance, a five-speed shifter and shifter cables work fine with a six-speed transmission.

The chassis will require modifications, though. A lot of wiring changes have to be made to the base RSX. To the body harness we need to add or modify the clutch bypass, back-up lights, and cruise control.
