If your getting someone else to do it I was told $1500 to $2000 for me locally.

mndude07 has a whole spreadsheet that he made up to keep track of all the parts that came up that he had to buy, i'll ask him when i seem him at the house tomorrow.

[kellough_100]

that is pricey, I use to have a 92 civic hatch automatic, I got quotes for $500-800 to do a auto to 5spd swap. Its better for you to get all the parts together, It took me a year to get all the parts from the junk, but the thing that suck was, I gathered all these parts and never ended up doing the damn auto to 5spd. I just sold it and got a 92 gs-r.

well.im doin jabercb7s auto to 5 speed swap and the parts alone ran him about 1100 dollers.

well it depends one how well you can search up parts. im currently doing my auto to 5speed and roughly ive spent somewhere between $900 and $1400. Im doing all the labor myself along with 92smokeaccord. Its wise to do all the preventive maintenance since your gonna have motor out anyways. heres a brief list with prices

tranny: free - $400
master cylinder: $65
slave cylinder: $20
clutch and brake pedal assembly: $30-$50
5 speed engine harness: $30-$50
shifter assembly: $20-40
clutch lines: $30-$50
starter: $30-$50
misc: $100-$400 (this varies, remember to keep all the bolts to any parts you get, this is also for any little problems, buying the new oils, cleaning products, and if you decide to give the engine a quick tune up)

Then you have to choose wether to weld a stock 5spd tranny bracket: $50 at dealer if im correct or buy ESP auto to 5speed mount kit $275


Im trying to do it right so ive gotten as many new partts as i could, come check out the process here

Interesting, I've wanted to do this as well. But with over 1k. I can just buy another cb that is manual then swap my parts over to that and use the auto as a beater... But that would depend if the manual shell is cleaner. I havenst asked anyone locally yet either. I will keep in touch with this thread

You can always find the parts cheaper if you look hard enough. I have seen them go for 3-500 full swap with out the esp mounts. But i live in nyc so that might make things different for us.

thats what i tried to do. i tried to trade my cb for a manual one and IF it was in better condition i was willing to give cash on top but couldnt find anyone, took me about 4 to 6 weeks to get everything and im still getting few little parts here and there, i didnt just drop 1k on all the parts, i first bought the esp mounts and i went down the list from biggest part (shape) and price

its all about searching. friend of mine got the all the lines, slave cyl, master cyl, pedal and shifter assembly for $150 on CL in "like new" condition

If you are really wanting that manual conversion, shit i'd go for it. I can probably find/get some parts for free from some of my relatives. It would be pretty sweet. Manual is alot more fun to drive. But not when on the phone or other things that require the other hand to hold haha.

yep...no more eating, texting, calling or scratching the sack while driving....look on the bright side, less chance of having an accident
