i got a 97 LS originally with 50k on the motor and its an automatic, i got it for **** cheap, what would i have to do to convert it to 5speed.

 

get a manual tranny, clutch, fly wheel...shifter.

 

and a clutch master cylinder

 

i did the conversion on my 98 ls and i will never do it again. It was worth it but too much time consuming.

 

and pedals

 

theres alot more than you think.

 

heres the process, trade for a manual

 

I sold a guy a conversion once for his Camry, way too much **** to buy, and way too much stuff to do.

 

You will need:
Pedal Assembly
Clutch Master Cylinder
Clutch Slave Cylinder
Clutch Lines
Shift Linkage
Flywheel
Clutch
5-Speed Tranny
Shifter Assembly

The conversion is quite easy to do. All the holes are already marked on the chassis (some may be drilled already and just plugged), the shifter assembly should just about bolt straight up. The peadals will bolt right up and I'm pretty sure that the master cylinder will bolt right up also( holes may need to be drilled, I'm not very sure). I helped a kid do the auto to 5 speed conversion on his 99 Civic and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

 

Remember that Hasport now sells the mount which allows for the conversion without any cutting and welding.

Thats true, i've done my conversion on my 98 GS. Well worth it but i'll never would want to do it again. It'll cost more than you think unless you do it yourself. But the good thing is, you would be able to pick your parts from scratch. BTW try searching also, you'll find tons of threads that could help.

 

i spent 450 with everything a gsr tranny plus the hasport mount and a clutch.

 

did any one have a probem with thier tach not working? all of my guages work exept the tach. cant figure out why.

 

Parts you will need.. (I'm doing one myself right now).

Tranny

Manual ECU

Clutch/Flywheel

Clutch/Slave cynlindar

Shift Linkage

Hydraulic Lines

Clutch Resovir

Manual Pedal Assembly (you can get JUST a clutch pedal, but it will be crowded down there.)

Clutch sensor (the thing in the back of the clutch and the wires that connect, pretty much the thing that tells the car it's okay to start).

Starter

New tranny mount (If you get an OEM Honda manual tranny mount you WILL need to weld it, it WILL NOT directly bolt up. Try placeracing, hasport, jdmshit for auto/manual conversion mounts).

Shifter

Shift ****

Shift boot

Also, someone was saying that you need a new intake manifold. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

 

Well not everyone buys stolen GSR trannys (im joking)

I &gt; you.

 

everyone says they do conversions but ive yet to see someone answer my simple question about the tach issue. no one has said anything about getting axels, also thier will be a hole u will need to cut where the auto shift wire came in at ( if not the shift linkage will hit bfore u can bolt it in) . the hole will be about 2by6 inch so u will need to get a steel plate. i cant remember the exact size but i think its about 11by5 plate. also u need a 3 1/4 hole 1/2 inch from one end and center. for a stock dust boot to work u need to go to the junk yard & cut one out of a crashed car. both can be applyed with stainless self tapping screws & a good sealer is high temp fire caulking from home depot . oh also the mounting holes for your shifter wont work u will need to drill new holes about 1 inch back with new bolts ( nylon nuts are smart to use here)
