      @@delontachristian8125 I know you asked James, but I looked into doing the same thing and from what I can find is you can do it with OBD1 ECUs by removing 2 resistors but not OBD2. There are tons of manual ECUs on Ebay, I picked one up last week and hope to do the swap myself real soon

      Texas Honda Channel Hey !! I did the same exact swap and for some reason my car won’t start. My manual starter was tested 100% good, and I just don’t know why my car won’t start. The battery is also good. Do you know any reason of why my car would not Start/crank up ?

    Picked up a automatic 98ek a couple months ago (d16y7). In the process of getting my head around everything I'll need to do a manual swap on it, and then picking up all the pieces little by little. Atm most I've done is doing a deep clean on the interior and putting some new wheels on it so I can enjoy it in the meantime while I pick up the parts. Thinking I'll pick up a second D series engine to put in so I can clean it up and do all the seals and head gasket while its out to make sure it is all good.

    hey there, I watched this whole video. I'm appreciative for the tutorial on if i was to do this myself on my 2000 civic lx. Right now i'm completely broke, i bought the car from someone who didn't tell my it was having transmission issues. i havent yet changed the transmission fluid filter. it hesitates shifting 3rd to 4th and also on a side not the gear shifter is hard to shift progressively and sometimes it feels almost normal then goes back to being too hard moving from park to reverse. all the gears work and its a decent car but i dont want it to suddenly crap out it would be a waste. so theres almost 200k on it now. i think swapping it to manual would be far better instead of just getting another automatic transmission for it...

    Thanks for sharing! Really glad to see that the swap is a direct bolt in for the 6th gen unlike the 5th gen. I just bought a super clean 1997 Civic for really cheap because it needs a head gasket and has 353,000 miles. I'm definitely going to swap it to a 5 speed when the auto dies or possibly sooner. What a shame modern cars don't last like these!
