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 >> Stay informed about: Changing Automatic to Standard in Honda Accord

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

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. Mike >> Stay informed about: 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.

I think you have alot to learn when it comes to swaps. I've did it previously, just not w/ an accord. When it's done, I perhaps you may learn something. >> Stay informed about: Changing Automatic to Standard in Honda Accord

I know I've had at least one car (a '84 Nissan 300ZX) that would have required a different ECU and a pair of different security modules just to start the engine if the tranny were changed. The connectors on the security modules weren't even the same. Maybe the Honda isn't as intensive. Mike >> Stay informed about: Changing Automatic to Standard in Honda Accord
