My DelSlow started as an auto (SOHC). The next upgrade was to convert to a manual. Huge differance

If your friend is looking for some pep. Then stick w/auto. For real fun, he'll have to do a conversion.

 

i think by sport shift he means the engagement from gear to gear is ruff

on the newer civics its more like a dimmer than a gear shift

 

But it has that button that makes the little dummy light switch around on the dash board just like the 90-93 accords.

I think the word "sport" is incorporated in there someplace. ----, I don't know.. that transmission has caused me enough grief then to have to look up the specs on it. I'll stick to being a shot caller on 700r4 and AW-71 auto transmissions.
