1. There IS an auto tranny for the B18 motor otherwise where would all the integras get their automatics from? GM?
2. You lose about 25% to the wheels with a lower powered car and an auto tranny (vs 12 ish % with a stick). So out of a 142hp you would still get about 107 to the wheels vs the D16 which starts with 106 and would end with about 80.
The car currently has an auto, and my wife would be driving it therefore I'd stick with auto for this application.
