I always say any thing made by man can be fixed by man.

I did a swap a few years ago on a civic. The brackets are all in place so all you have to do is go to a salvage yard and get the standard set up including the master and slave units. It will require an axle change and a computer swap.

It will cost a lot more than replacing an automatic. about 3X

Good luck
