hey guys i have a 2000 integra SE (same as the ls and gs) with an automatic transmission (and a B18B1 engine). i plan to modify it with pretty much everything but turbo and of course i would never put something like NOS on it. does anyone see any problems that i might have doing this... ( i dont want a 5spd)  

what is ur question about trans????  

well i just wanted to make sure that if i wanted to modify my integra with a automatic transmission that there wouldnt be any problems..(some people are telling me that it will reck the transmission)  

it wouldn't be problems with the automatic trans, the only problem i can think of is that with an auto trans u won't be able to take off as fast as with a manual trans but other than that there shouldn't be any problem.  

I have had conversations about auto trans in races so I'll try to be of help. First off, wave to the future, auto transmissions can be made to perform, they actually provide a serious advantage in bracket racing where its expressly important for consecutive shifting. Proof of this would be the new Evo X, The sport package comes with an Automatic trans! The second half of my post goes out to the Manual, The manual trans, quite simple give you more control of the car, for example, In drifting, a race style where control of the car is something beyond ordonary understanding in my opinion, an auto trans would not be usable, manual is the only way to go here. further more, manual Transmissions have been tried and true for over 40 years, and , being a mechanic i have first hand knowledge of this Proverb, "if something is not broken, don't fix it"

I guess what I'm saying is this. It really depends on what you want to do with your car in the long run, just think about whatr your car and you will go thru  while you drive it. Daily driver? long rides? Burnouts?  

Way cool advice... I agree!  

aswell i was wondering because i would like to keep my same car. i would like to switch the transmission to a manual sooner or later would this be possible to do?  

no it is absolutly not possible if any one tells you otherwise they are just crazy. of course it is possible  

ok just wondering cause is there all the places for the clutch pedal and stuff to attach?  

its definately not a problem, in fact a friend of mine is currently working on converting his 88 dx into a manual. best idea would be to do what he did and get a donor car(eg he found a 90 si that was gutted for autocross) that has what you need and hopefully not much else cause that will help the price
