    Question Manual Swap LXi Accord

    I have a 1988 Accord LX-i. Its auto and id like to manual swap it, but have very little idea where to start. Ive looked around the forum and im sure I missed the correct thread, but could someone tell me what I would need to pull this off? What tranny do I need, what other things do I need, where I could get them etc. Im sure someone on here has already been through this process before and could share some insight. Thanks!!!!!

    Axle, clutch, flywheel, pedals, shifter, shift rods, clutch cable, I think the roll mount on the bottom is different, and you need to run a pair of wires from the reverse light switch and probably a few other minor details I'm forgetting

    My buddy is looking to do the manual swap on his incoming 3rd gen project. The current owner's son actually started it and wasn't able to continue. We'll just finish installing the suspension from 4Wheelonline on the truck before we can clear the garage and take her in. Gonna check that Dr. Snooz thread.
