The question made it sound as if you wanted the change the automatic into a manual by modifying the transmission to be a manual.

That aside, you can make it *act* as a manual if you want and get a shift kit installed and are hella cheaper than doing a complete replacement. They are more straight forward than doing a trany swap.

Sorry it came across as harsh, wasn't intended.

I would also like to add that if it is a modern car with a computer within it you will most likely have to get those changed out.

Basic version:

Figure out where the noise specifically is coming from. (In your case the floor)
Remove seats, center console, and anything else on top of the carpet.
Remove the carpet.
The way I would do it is lay down some sound dampening DynaMat. There are other options that would come down to cost and preference.
Reinstall carpet.
Reinstall everything else. Replace your seats since they're out and pretty uncomfortable (maybe some SI seats or some RSX buckets)

Ok cool. I would love to replace the seats they suck for long diving. I had dynamat in my old cars trunk for my subs. It helped a lot with trunk rattle
