    Talking Auto to stick tranny swap! :-)

    I just got a free 88 five speed that I am parting.

    Have anyone done a auto to five speed swap before?

    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.
