Auto ---> Manual

I know that new transmissions are kind of expensinve... my grandpa paid $1500 I think on an automatic replacement. Would it be hard to replace auto to manual?

I would assume so, considering that you will need a clutch installed and probably get your computer reporgrammed or chipped......

the shop im going to said it would cost a couple grand to convert if the motor wasnt already out of the car. but since im getting everything done with them, theyre only charging $600 for it. you will also need a bunch of parts that probably wont come with the transmission, siince youre not buying a front clip. stuff like the shift linkage, clutch and master/slave cylinder... as well as some other stuff that i dont know of, thats why theyre doing all the work.

you only need computer work done if you are going many to auto...its still a mess, and almost impossible to get look right inside the car, should have bought a stick to begin with

i have an auto and i want to change it to a manual, i know its not impossible but ive met some one at a car meet that has changed his automatic accord to a manual and dropped in a h22a for 3 grand of course he got hooked up but does anyone know any shops in southern cali that can maybe do an auto to manual transmission change?

if i were in the market for a transmission change i woudl definately get the h22 installed with it i guess that would proly get you the most bang for your buck, and if you do go through with it pls give an update of where, how much, what you got etc im interested, thanks

Yeah i sure will, right now my biggest prob is saving money so it will be atleast another 2-3 months before i actually go through with it.

just sell your car and buy a manual. it's much less of a headache, and you don't have to worry about things that weren't meant to be there in the first place falling apart on you.

The thing is i paid 4 grand for it with all the extra's and i can easily sell it for 6-7 grand and buy a manual, but the thing is i would lose all the extra's and just replace all the extra's for stock parts would cost too much money and i would end up spending more money replacing all of them and buying a new car then just keeping the old one and converting it.

go on ebay replace those parts with stock parts and old the parts for your prelude thats maunal

plus the guy who sold you the car im pretty sure knew how much the parts were worth but proly had a hard time finding more for the parts or else he wouldve sold it for more no? so i think its a hard question i really wouldnt know what i would do in your position

the reason why i got it for so cheap is that i know the guy personally and is a close friend of one of my friends so i basically got hooked up

What 'extras' do you have?

I'd stil cut my losses and sell the car to buy a new one.
