Ok, I'm enroute back to baghdad, but the Auto-Manual Swap worked out perfectly.
All of the work was done in a non-Automotive garage, by me, and only me, with the mazmo swap guide, and a Helms manual to guide me.
only problem I had was explaining the ECU rewrite to the guys at the local Honda Dealership.

Planning: Auto to Manual Swap
I don't have a keyboard with me, so I have to be brief, but once I get back, I will post all of the pics and details
V/r,
