K Swap Auto to Manual Harness Conversion
By Brian Gillespie

After (literally) hundreds of requests, we are finally doing the auto to manual conversion video. RSX Type S engine harnesses can be difficult to source and cost hundreds of dollars. Here we show exactly how to convert an automatic CR-V engine harness into a harness that will work for a K20A2 swap with a manual transmission. With this video and some time and effort you can make some room in your budget for other upgrades. Or you can start making your own swap harnesses for your friends and make some cash on the side. Below you will find links for what you will want to use for the conversion. Now the question is, will this create more questions than it answers?
