Can you swap engines between AT/MT???

[Straight Success]

Can you swap and an engine from an AT car with the engine from a MT car hassel free? And vice versa? Can this be done without alot of modifications?

yup you can just gotta switch over the tranny and get the axle for that tranny cause theres one axle thats different between the auto and manual trannies on the accord also gotta get the tranny mount cause there slightly different between the 2 transmissions

so the engine out of my '93 SE AT will bolt right into a 93 EX MT and run properly. A tech that likes Honda's and Acura's at my Mercedes dealership said that he din't think it was possible. Please ya'll let me know if you can do this.

[almostJDM]

its not that simple cause the position of the auto tranny is not in the same location its a couple of inches off u gotta get the bracket cut and weld @ least thats wat i was told im doing the same thing but the other way around

ok i get it now

[Straight Success]

so is this possible. My 93 SE engine has only 91XXX miles, and the 93 EX engine has way more miles. My engine is very strong and reliable, so I want to use it.

IT doesnt exactly bolt on...YOu gotta remove the flexplate that was on the auto motor then you gotta get a flywheel and clutch assembly. After that you can bolt together the trans. As for the mounts you can use a 5th gen mount and shim it. I dunno if the ESP company has finished fabricating mounts but yea. The better way is to chop a mount bracket off a 5spd and weld it on.
