Anyone who's done a auto ---> manual conversion....

ya,

i forgot the 5spd mount, it's like $25 from honda...takes about 1-2 weeks to get it in, it's not in stock normally. And the other thing you need is a driverside CV shaft and Intermidient shaft from a 90-93 5spd accord. (Trim doesn't matter).

I still say, wait for the money...you are going to need to get a clutch alignment tool to line the clutch up correctly...Just wait for the money and buy the motor/tranny together...look at the long term.

Just my two cents.

I found a shop that will charge 400 dollars to perform the swap. I'm close to collecting all the parts, should I allow them to do it? I dont know if i can do this myself, I have only changed my oil

bro beleive me, dont fuss mith the mount. its one of the easies parts. i know a girl around my way, and her pops did her a-->m convo, and he dint use mt mount, well her axle poped out at like 45mph. just go to ur honda dealer and order the mt mount braket. its cheap. and just have someone weldit there. shouldnt be more than 50 to weld. its sooo easy. i did mines in a few days but i do work and go to school full time.
ps.thanks to cpmike. talk to him that ***** is crack. he'll tell u a lotta shit. i also got a post some where here about the wiring, search for itll be pretty simple too.

good luck.

What is the part # for the manual mount? Does anyone know? Right now I think I can get everything done by a shop, and I want to make sure they weld in the manual mount, so my axle does not pop out. Thanks.

Will I need to change the instrument cluster if i do the swap? Right now my cluster has P R N D4 D3 2 1 lights for each level on the gear selector. A manual car has none of these gears so would I have to swap out the cluster? What other differences are there between the clusters? Does the manual cluster have a Shift light? And will the same center console piece that holds the auto gear shifter fit the manual shift assembly and boot?

no, you can keep the auto gauge. Just cross the two black wires like in the diy.
