    auto-manual conversion w/ ONLY lude parts?

    ok, heres the deal, i have access to an 85 prelude 1.8 dual carb, and i was wonder if i can use the pedal assem./clutch cable, accel. cable FROM THE LUDE on my 87 accord hatchback?


    please get back to me asap, because the second gear on my 'cord is out and i need to do something fast.

    thank you.

    No, You also can't use the trans unless you swap the diff.

    you could just try pull the pedal assembly out and try and compare it. it's prolly different though.

    Pedal assembles, and shift rods are different. The rear mount is the same.

    I'm not sure where you heard that but its wrong. The accord axles have a larger diameter then the 1.8 prelude axles. You won't be able to stick an accord axle into the trans, and the prelude axle will spin freely in the accord hub. To make it work you would need to swap the entire front hub, carrier, breakes, etc from the 1.8 lude onto your accord if that is even possible and use the prelude axles. (I'm not sure anyone has ever done that but its a reverse of the process 1.8 lude owners have to go through with a 2.0 swap).

    If you have a haynes manual it goes through the procedure. It's not that hard if you follow the instructions. Unfortunately on a fwd tranny you have to take the whole case apart. You are also most likely going to need a 5 speed accord diff. I have no idea if the diff from the auto trans will work, but my first guess would be it won't.

    Or...... just use Prelude inner CV joints on an Accors axle. Easier than swapping the differentials I think. (at least for me)

    it looks like there connected to the halfshafts pretty well.....
