Changing Automatic to Standard in Honda Accord
 

I have HOnda accord EXR w/ automatic

I am looking at swapping it out for a standard gearbox and clutch. However,
it is from a LX model.

Both are 1994. Will the swap fit? What is involved? Do I need extra boths
not on the scrapped vehicle? Rough time involved?

thanks

You need to buy another Honda Accord (parts car)standard shift in order to
have enought parts. Not worth the time or trouble!

Re: Changing Automatic to Standard in Honda Accord
 

That depends on you, do you have tools? Are you mechanically inclined, I
would say it on a scale of 1-10 as one being the easiest its a 9 or 10 job,
even if you have the tools, It may involve removing the engine and automatic
trans as a unit to do the swap. now to answer your question if you have the
tools and basic knowledge I would say its a good 2 day if not longer.

Don't forget the electronics and the clutch hydraulics / pedal. This was
recently discussed and the project has a whole bunch of by-the-ways... I
doubt we even identified them all because the OP decided against it.
Possible to do, but I'd just sell the auto and buy the stick. Much easier,
probably cheaper, and you won't have a bastardized car. I know I'd never
touch a vehicle that had undergone such a Frankenstein operation.

It is going to be done, that is not an option.
I will be having a certified mechanic to perform this job. I have a Honda
Accord exr Vtec......mint, loaded and not a easy find w/ low k's.
I have the same car in LX 5 sp standard. My automatic is not performing
properly, so I'm doing the switch.

I wanted an idea on 1)lenth of time so I don't get ripped of by mechanic 2)
will I need any extra parts even having a whole cars for parts 3) will the
swap go well if the mechanic knows his stuff?

thanks
