so i went to a local dealership to see if i could get a set of 6 pressure plate bolts for my auto to 5speed swap, the dealership wanted $8.25 a piece for the bolts, and had to order them from Honda... so i said no thanks and left... the next morning i called around and found the same parts from a different dealership for $.20 a piece, an dthey quoted a quicker shipping time from Honda. that was yesterday, and i got the bolts in TODAY, not next week... so the moral is- shop around, not all dealerships are the same.

I hear ya, when I was doing my five speed swap, I didn't have the flywheel bolts. They quoted me like $10 a piece X 8. Fack that, I use some from a B20A5 engine.

yeah, you can just tell when they dont feel like dealing with you, my friend went to the same dealership i went to first, but he was looking for locking lugs and they told him to go down the street to the auto part store and save his money...

I just went to autozone and got them during my swap. I think I paid a total of 2 bux for 6 of them, the measurements were somthing like 1.5x8x30(from the shop manual)
