Switching Tranny

My sister in law gave me her 96 civic ex but it has a automatic transmission. I hate driving it with the sloppy automatic. What i want to know is how easy or hard it would be to switch the tranny to a 5 speed.I know my way around the car but never worked with a transmission before.If anyone has done this before or just may have information on some prices or anything that will help me out please do so.


thanks in advance
