Nope, my civic is an auto and my project cars have always been stick.
No shame in having an auto in the commuter car.

if you have a 5sfe i might be willing to trade for that 5spd haha. then i might just keep the car a little longer

The trick is a 5spd celica and a beater car with a/t. Yes sometimes i miss my a/t on my celi, but as soon as im out of traffic. i love the 5spd.
So , a/t is ok if you have only one car

any update on this? my shift lever mechanism is sort of broken but still shiftable (a/t). Would be extremely interested in a write up of how to swap a boot and lever in.
