1995 Prelude Si H23a1 auto to manual conversion
what up guys. i have a decent looking 4th gen prelude and i have been dying to get it swapped to 5 spd. i have recently had a little extra money, so i'm grabbing some of the parts here and there. this is a list that i've been going by. the bold ones still need to be acquired:
Transmissions Assembly
Trans mounts-side
Engine Mount-rear (rear is optional-the rear auto mount will work)
Flywheel and bolts
Clutch Kit
Clutch Bolts
Clutch Master Cylinder + reservoir
*Clutch Slave Cylinder
*Clutch Dampener
*Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
*Reverse Switch
*Hydrolic Lines
*5spd Starter
Clutch Pedal Assembly
Brake Pedal Assembly
Shifter Assembly
Shift linkage
5speed ECU
5spd Intermediate shaft (half-shaft)
Cotter Pins (assorted sizes)
Assorted Nuts and Bolts
can i get some insight on the parts i need. part numbers would be helpful for the clutch and brake pedal assemblies. is my list complete? meaning once i have everything listed above, all i need to pay for is labor.
Edit: if i get accord shift cables, will they work on any f or h series tranny i decide to go with? or do i need to buy the tranny and then get cables accordingly?
will using the new 5 spd ECU cause problems with the doors unlocking with the key? Ignition?
do i need to use the clutch damper?

your best bet is to either get a parts car or hit the junkyard and make multiple trips ...
for 1995 prelude (odb1) no you wont have any issues opening doors etc. theres no key chip security in the 4th gen.

im finding accord shift linkage a lot easier than the prelude ones. does it matter which ones i buy? would 93 accord shift linkage cables work properly with the 4th gen prelude shifter and m2s4 transmission?

Re: 1995 Prelude Si H23a1 auto to manual conversion
i have some questions for the people willing to provide insight on the automatic to manual conversion of a 95 prelude. what bolts do i use to fasten the linkage to the shifter? and bolts for shifter to bolt to chasis? clutch pedal bolts? im buying the parts but no bolts have come with them. also, could i use axles from any 4th gen prelude? h22 or h23? i have the h23a1. same with half shaft. any suggestions on using the h23 prelude rywire clutch line for this project? using this would effectively eliminate the clutch dampener, correct? im thinking of buying this instead of searching for an old oem clutch line or buying a new one from the dealership. im using new clutch master and clutch slave cylinders. i'd like for the lines to be just as new.
as for bolting the tranny to the engine, i dont think my transmission is coming with those? so what would i need to do for this part? im not doing the swap myself but im trying to get every part to give to the mechanic. also, do i need to buy the 5 spd tranny mount? or is there a way to use the auto one?
