I just found out that the atf doesn't even need to be looped. Just capped off is good enough. The atf has a separate reservoir.

raceACCORDingly · 06-28-2005, 11:24 AM

theres already a tube there so looping was just the easier way. looping or capping.. does the same thing.

THEROPE · 06-28-2005, 01:00 PM

i capped i needed the pipe for something else

80mcfukdtp · 10-09-2005, 01:42 AM

theres no need to do anything w./the atf ports at the rad. because its just a circuit through the rad, but capping it will keep crap out of the rad atf circuit i guess...

book marked, thank's raceACCORDingly for posting this link...

Good write up.

This will be coming in handy as I plan on doing this for next year. I guess it would be best to start sourcing parts over the winter months.
Maybe I missed it....how much did this end up costing you?

From what I understood, they only made aluminum rads for manuals. My buddy and I just swapped one in last friday as well as a tranny oil cooler for auto trans. Required a number of modifications due to it's 2" width. We had to lower the crossmember a centimetre and raise the rad about 3 milimetres to get it to fit. Also had to notch the fan shroud and the blades otherwise they would hit the front motor mount. Need to install a FAL slim fan though

98savage · 03-21-2007, 08:55 PM

I'm doing an automatic to manual conversion on my 98 Accord (6th gen) and was wondering a few things.

One being the ECU....which manual ECU do I need (obd1, obd2)? I have an F23 motor. 2.3L VTEC....

Also, is there any need to reprogram the keys when the ECU is changed like that?

tinyr97 · 03-29-2007, 01:31 PM

can you please tell me if I need to do anything with the two wire harnesses that are on the prelude clutch pedal assembly. If i need to wire them In to my 93 accord and what are they for. PLease let me know

95accordexb · 04-22-2007, 07:07 AM

So basically how much would this cost to do roughly for the parts you need and the mechanic to do it....how many hours did it take

kreativecd5 · 05-10-2007, 11:22 AM

hi. i am almost done my swap now, and am jammed here on the tranny mount. i dont know wat exactly would be the best to do. the mount for the tranny does't line up with the bracket on the car. im try to look for a new mount that would work with out me cutting and welding. i think thats the route im goint to have to take tho. but i was wondering wat mount was used in the write up?. the one in the picture doesnt look like mine. but it does loook like the one i need. also i have a 94. and i used a 91 tranny. ANY help will be great . thanks.

5G_Vtec · 05-10-2007, 01:14 PM

96_CD5 · 12-15-2007, 03:59 PM

How much total should the parts cost to do the swap NOT including the tranny?

SuShiBoiiii · 12-15-2007, 04:16 PM

400+ depending where you get it some people found all the stuff at a junk yard for 250

96_CD5 · 12-15-2007, 05:30 PM

Don't know if your asking me but i didn't get any parts yet cuz i work and when i get home its dark and too cold to be goin to junkyards.

SuShiBoiiii · 12-16-2007, 01:29 AM

just be prepared to spend upwards of 500+ with the tranny lower if without

tony12moore7 · 01-29-2008, 09:16 PM

This is by far the best post i have seen for this swap.

I am thinking about doing this swap. How much did you pay for it? Is the success rate high?
