OOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOooo 5speed swap eh? FTW!!!!

[BITESIZE]

Sure thing, I just need the shift linkage, which won't be a problem. I'm going to get the linkage this week or next week. My plan is for the April 5th - 10th or from April 13th - 20th.Turabaka is going to come and help I hope...... Waiting for Turabaka's reply....

I've been sicker than shit the last couple of days, so all I've really been doing is sleeping. Except for the couple of hours I went in to work yesterday. Unfortunately my boss left for a company meeting before I got there. I'm not sure when he's getting back, but I'll ask my boss tomorrow morning what the deal is with part timers asking for time off.

[BITESIZE]

^^^ Tell him your grandma is in the hospital and you have to leave for 4 days lol!

[turabaka]

heh. I wasn't gonna tell them why I needed the time off, just that I needed it off for personal/family reasons.

[84Accord]

finally man. 5 speeds are a loooot more fun.

[BITESIZE]

2nd 5 speed swap for me. Shouldn't be too hard. Shouldn't take more than 1 day to do it all and have the car running.

[BITESIZE]

For those that don't know, I don't have the hatch anymore and I'm going to be converting this car to 5 speed.

Sweet..
Needs a Header next :naughty:

[Hash_man_Se_i]

nice bitesize... after finally getting a 5spd 3g, i regret never doing that swap on either of my old cars.

[Rendon LX-i]

Sick bro...i want to see more lol

[3rd Party]

i personally love the automatic transmission, but it's a costly feat to have them built to withstand the abuse of built motors along with getting a good setup for racing can be a pain...but to me worth the investment. but honestly i've never seen the Accord as an, "auto tranny racer" like you would an actual, "sports car"

[BITESIZE]

Sick bro...i want to see more lol

Just wait till I do it.

I have the transmission off the spare engine and getting ready to pull my engine out of my car next week. I bought a new gasket kit and will be redoing all the gaskets.

3rd party- you coming to twin to help? :D

[BITESIZE]

So I will be doing this April 16-22nd. Got the ok at work for the days off.

I just need the transmission linkage and my flywheel resurfaced.

[BITESIZE]

Well, I went to the salvage yard and got the transmission linkage. I then stopped at the parts store and bought a brand new flywheel.

I then drank a Pepsi
I then removed the engine and auto tranny from the car.
I then put the new upper control arms in..
I then changed the engine mounts.
I then drank another Pepsi.
I then put the shift linkage in.
Now I'm going to eat drink.
Then I will take the pedals out and hopefully put the new ones in tonight. -Maybe

Pictures to come soon.

[Rendon LX-i]

hell ya man...cant wait

[Pico]

Should be a walk in the park getting this done, since this is your second time dong a 5speed swap

[Civic Accord Honda]

Do work!

[BITESIZE]

Just got the automatic tranny off, and earlier today I put the 5 speed pedals in. Gosh, I forgot how humungous that auto tranny is compared to the 5 speed!

Ok, now I'm going to drink a Pepsi and eat some Wendys spicy chicken sandwiches.

[BITESIZE]

I got the engine in and am buttoning everything back up.

[Tdurr]

nice. hurry up. 5 speed is worth it lol.
