I just got a free 88 five speed that I am parting.
Have anyone done a auto to five speed swap before?

Just finished mine
Here's a link to help you out Swap
^^ finished mine to. :)
did it about 3 years ago. took me about 2 days. pedals was the hardest part.
Yea, it took me 2 days and thats with having the wrong axel, bolts broke off in control arm and didnt have the tranny mount. It could have probably been done in 1.5 if not for the problems. And just to warn you the pedals suck so bad to do.
If your Accord is your daily driver, I would do the pedals one weekend, and then do the transmission the next.
And just be careful that one thing doesn't keep leading to another. :)
By the time I was done I had replaced the oil pump, water pump, timing belt and tensioner, had the flywheel resurfaced, replaced the O2 sensors, did a B series radiator swap, replaced all my engine mounts, and replaced all the bushings in the shift linkage, and started to replace parts of the exhaust.
I mean, everything is already tore apart, I might as well do it, right? :)
do pedals first and everything else should be pretty straightforward. Just make sure you have every nut and bolt and piece you need to complete it before starting.
2 days thats not bad im gettin ready to do mine with in the next month
I was going to try something like this on my 93 nissian maxima until it caught on fire.....

Damn!
no kidding lol. oh and the best part is it was pouring down rain and I was 2 buildings away from the fire department lol, so it didnt blow up...thank god I saved my $700 stereo system and everything inside the car.. oh and the neons lol (somehow)...
oh and the reason for the fire....im a dumba$$ and when changing fuel injectors I went cheap and used the old O rings...:Owned: they looked fine but still should've replaced them......obviously....
