Yes.
That's the easy answer.
However, it's not simple or cheap.
The cost of the changeover may exceed the value of the car.
Learn to drive a stick. It's not that hard.

It is possible, but it may be more cost effective to buy a civic with manual transmission. Look on the internet for automatic to manual swap. You need to buy a manual transmission, maybe axles, cylinders for clutch operation, maybe new ecu, etc. Then you need someone with the right tools and knowledge to install it all. It will cost alot of money and downtime(for the car). Like I said before, unless you're a mechanic, or have lots of cash, you should probably just buy a manual car.

YES. i did this in my truck and saved myself $400 over putting the manual back in it. all you have to do is get an aftermarket tranny cooler, about $50, a flex plate, about $80, lines for the cooler and a shifter (B&M rachet shifters work great for this), about $200 and of course the tranny and toque converter. you may need to change you drive shaft cv shafts or transfer case depending on compatability. good luck. but personally driving a stick is easy. practice in gravel and grass so you dont stall it so easily. once you get the taking off and shifting down take it to the street and practice more. you will get it.

You can swap the transmissions, but is it worth it?
Just learn to drive a stick-its not that hard. Anyone can do it if they try. Really.
Sticks are fun to drive anyways, ive always owned stick shifts.

yes you can but the cost of doing it is usually more than the car is worth,and there a lot of changing parts around to do this providing you can find enough stuff to do it with ,good luck with it.

yes you can, but why waste money for something you can BUY for the same price as trying to make something into something it's NOT....
