heres the deal
Im still debating what to do with my car. I have a 96 civic Ex black 2 door with 80,000 miles. I love everything about the car except that it is an automatic. So I DO NOT know what to do.
1. I can sell the car and buy a new one however if i do this I want either a 96, 97, or 98 2 door civic ex manual trans with low milage. However if the car i buy is more than what i sell my car for now im stuck with car payments and that means all mods have to wait. Also i will be without a car until i find a new one. 2. I can convert to stick. My engine is all stock right now. I cant afford to do and engine and trans swap so it would just be the trans. However i am hesitant to do this because I am worried about the effects on my car and if someone messes it up then i cant afford to fix major transmission problems down the line. 3. I can learn to deal with an automatic. Since i have left a ton of posts on this topic option #3 is my least favorite choice. So what does everyone think. I honestly dont know what to do and I would like to make a decision in the next month (preferably sooner). Thnx for the help everyone. |

What's your car worth, probably 6-8 grand? Shop around, sell it, and buy a '96 EX with a stick. It'll be cheaper than a tranny swap if you have time to shop.
