Researching shops to do auto to manual conversion - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

SilentDeath128 · 06-05-2008, 05:44 PM

As the title states, I am beginning to research different shops that can do this project. I prefer it be located locally. I am located in NE Philly area.

I have a 99 integra LS. Currently an automatic transmission that I want to convert to manual. I would like to work with the person, who will perform the labor, on the conversion to help me piece together all the necessary parts. I have a good list of general items, just need specific items like bolts, clips, harnesses etc. It is also a DD car so downtime needs to be kept down to a minimum while doing the conversion.

If someone has had this done to their car before by a shop, let me know! I prefer a shop which have done this before. Drop a PM or E-mail. Thanks in advance!

Also nick or Anthony at www.elitejdm.com in Phila. He will also have all the parts in stock for you. (Calling them is your best bet)

Im in NE philly and can certainly lend you help as long as you have a garage, im not gona charge you or anything but just so you know, in most cases especially on a stock car its just easier to sell your auto car and get a stick shift.

There is a place right off of Bustleton and Philmont (right near the train station, in the same parking lot behind the little strip mall) that is a trans special shop but they told me what I just told you for my old car, and many other shops confirmed.

I just have spent so much time into it already I would rather not start over again. But I have thought about it and prefer to go this route. Thanks for the advice though.

There's a shop around Lancaster called Precision Roadster that does a lot of good custom work. I'd recommend them.
