Automatic to Manual

[diegog174]

Good morning guys, I'm from Brazil.
I own an Automatic Accord 2.2 Ex.
I was thinking of putting a manual it.
Here in Brazil it is easy to find the Civic engine 1.8 and cambiooo manual.
I wonder if it is possible to make this exchange. Place motor and cambio manual in accord?
Thanks.

yes you can do a change to manual, but let me be the first to tell you all the information is in the swaps section of the forum.

im guessing english is not your forte huh, do you speak spanish? or just portugese

[diegog174]

I speak Portuguese.
I was trying to post in the section swaps, but I'm new and I can not post there.
Well for me to find parts for my car to pass manuaal I know I could not find.
Then I would put the engine of the Civic 1.8 and cambioo, it would be possible?
Thanks!

it would not be practical to use the civic parts as it would require custom fabrication of everything. if you cannot find the accord parts, the 92 to 96 prelude has a lot of parts you can use and you could mail order the rest of the smaller things.

The problem is that I can not find the manual nor the prelude and accord.
I do not know what else to do.
I bought the car thinking that you could move to manual, and now I can not pass.
Here in Brazil the parts for the Accord are very very hard to find.
The engine of civic and civic manual for 2500 dolars are going out full.
The engine of my car is the f22.

Unfortunately the civic parts like i said are not feasible. What I may suggest is reading up on the swap in the swap section and get familiar with everything. Continue to post and get your 30 posts to be able to use the classified section and perhaps find someone willing to ship the parts to Brasil. If there is nothing wrong with the engine all that would be needed are some relatively small parts and the transmission (which I think would be the only problematic part to ship). If you can do the labor youself, it should take a day or two depending on your ability. If you have any questions about the swap itself, PM me and I'll try to help. Start here:

should get you started.

Using the Civic parts to convert to manual would require a lot of work. You would have to create your own parts, and cut up your car. It would be easier and cheaper to just buy the manual Accord parts from somewhere else, like the US, and have them shipped to you.

I have a friend who lives there in the U.S. He lives in Florida.
Do you find it easy to find a cambioo manuall there?
Here in Brazil we have too old civic with 1.6 engine and 160 hp.
Would not it be easier to adapt this?
Thanks

não, que ia custar muito caro para obter 1,6 feito, seria menos caro para ter alguém lhe enviar transmissão manual de EUA

Vou falar a verdade para voces.
Eu posso gastar até 10 mil reais nesta troca de cambio.
Eu acho que eu consigo trazer ele por menos, não ?
Ha pessoal, o farol com angel eyes ainda existe ai nos Estados Unidos??
Obrigado !

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I will speak the truth to you.
I can spend up to five thousand dollars.
I think I can bring it for less, right?
There are personal, the headlight with angel eyes there still exists in the United States?
Thanks!

Se este for o caso, não vejo por que você não poderia, por esse preço, eles não fazê-los com olhos de anjo, mas tem refletores HID, vá para specdtunning.com

-------------------------------------------------------

if that's the case i don't see why you couldn't for that price, they don't make them with angel eyes but do have HID reflectors, go to specdtunning.com

Civic parts are the same issue regardless of year. While they may be easier to access, you should put it out of your mind and focus on either prelude or accord parts. Depending on if you do the labor yourself or get a good price for installation, you should be well under your spending limit........ I've seen all the parts acquired for around 500 dollars before with some good deals....... look around you may be able to find some great deals.

He lives in Brazil and said that H/F parts are not easy to come by, and is asking about bringing a tranny in from the US for $5G's

I got all that....... and the above post was my response to that...... if he shops around (here in the US) the parts can be had for a decent price. heck........ for 5 Gs he could probably come close to if not get an entire H swap shipped to Brasil.

More than once I've seen H22 with an LSD go for about $3000. I know it's heavy, but I'd find it hard to believe that shipping would be more then 2K.
