 · Step 1 – Prep the car. Before starting a transmission swap in your Honda Civic, you must first remove all of the interior trim: seats, carpeting, the dashboard, etc. Basically, the whole interior must be stripped.

Slide a catch pan under the drain plug of the automatic transmission oil pan.

Automatic and manual transmissions both require a coupling device, a piece of equipment that is used to connect and disconnect the transmission and the engine as needed. In a manual transmission, that piece is called a clutch, and in an automatic transmission, it’s a torque converter. I get asked quite a bit about automatic to manual transmission swaps. Let’s face it, manual transmissions are more fun to drive. However, I think many people.
