Hey guys, i know a lot's been said about the auto to manny swap, but here i go anyway. As a newer member here at club integra i wanted to say how helpful everyone is. So i'm going to ask for more help. Recently, i hit 155k on my 1999 integra ls with a 4-speed auto. it doesn't slip gears, or resist switching gears, but sometimes the shifts are hard. it has been flushed 3 times over its lifetime but i doubt that would help.... Anyway! down to business. I recently found a 1997 acura integra ls on craigslist with rear end damage and a head gasket problem for $1000 bucks. thing is, it has a 5 speed ls tranny. Would it be worth it to buy the car, get all the parts i need off of it, then sell it for scrap? i heard a swap is like 750 anyway and this would save me the trouble of finding them all. any thoughts? ideas? how hard would the swap be for an amateur like me? thanks guys!
