converting a auto to manual

Post by jamin420 » Sun Jun 07, 2015 8:14 pm

Just been to look at a 5th what I've wanted for years and realisee it's an auto :( 2.2 motegi but it's absolute mint condition and very well looked after also it's done less than 60k kilometres. How much work and cost would be involved into converting it over to manual any help would be much appreciated as I've already put my current car up for sale as soon as u saw it :)

2-300 for the parts. Plus about 16-25 hours to install.

The biggest part of it is swapping the gearboxes, so if you can do a clutch, then you can manage ok.

One thing to mention though is that some 4gen autos have a different gearbox mount bracket than the manuals, and it gets more involved at this point if that's the case as you'll have to remove the old bracket and weld a new one on. The bracket is about 60 pounds from Honda.
