jeff,
great post. This message is for the OP (orginal poster):
I recall a letter to the editor of "Honda Tuning" magazine
related to this issue. Someone wanted to know how much it
would cost to remove the auto. transmission and replace it
with a standard transmission. The figure was over $1000.O0.
The editor told him that in some cases, it would be cheaper
to sell his Honda and buy another Honda that had a standard
transmission. If you decide to do it--make sure the Honda
you buy has multi point fuel injection and of course--
a standard transmission. Imagine how much work and time and
frustration you could save.
