You can do it. But if you're going to do it, you need to do it right. Find a list of everything that sets the manual and auto apart (ziliva I think has the list). It's not just the tranny you're gonna be swapping.

A donor car is your best bet because everything will be there.

personally... i had a friend awhile back who went to a shop and did an engine swap in his civic...they charged him around an extra 300 for a auto-man conversion... which isnt much when ur doing a $$$ swap anyway...
(amount of swap+300 for the conv)

hope that might help... if ur gonna do it yourself... good luck... make sure u know what you're doing... hope everything turns out ok
