in the list you will see a welder is needed. this is an option for the conversion
in the write up i will show you how you can do it with out a welder.
for purposes of room and my timing belt being over due for a change i pulled my motor and trans you dont have to take it out but it is much better to do so.
from inside the car shift the car into drive and remove the center console, glove box, and kick panel under the streering wheel for access. shift back into park
drain all the fuilds and jack the front of the car up. take the wheels off and the brake calipers, remove the 36mm axle nut and the 17mm nut on the lower balljoint. swing the knuckles out and away from the axle and remove the axle repeat for other side.
from under the car remove the center support beam and all the plastic covers. next remove the auto shift wire (one wire) there is a access cover on the trans that will have to be removed before you can unhook the shift wire
after that is done remove the engine as per the helms book
make sure you mark everything that is taken off. all vac lines and wires
with the motor out now is a good time to do the clutch master cylinder
and the pedals.
clutch master cylinder=CMC
for the CMC you will need to drill the mounting holes out, two mounting hols and one large hole for the plunger
from the inside of the cabin you will have to put spacers on the studs for the CMC to sit right
this is from a 5speed car
this is from a auto car w/out the spacers, they have to added
there is a 3rd bolt on the top of the mount to make it work you will have to take the wiper motor out and use a long bolt (its a bitch) but its a must.
for the brake pedal all you have to do is swap the arm not the whole bracket.
nothing for the gas pedal its the same
now you can do the wiring from under the car drop the rest of the exhaust dont unbolt it just slip it off the hangers just enough so you can unbolt the heat shield.
once its unbolted and out of the way you will see a little metal plate where the shift cables go. take the plate off, from the inside of the car unbolt the auto shifter and slip wire up and out of the access cover you just unbolted from under the car. now bolt on the 5speed shifter and fish the cables through that same access hole run the cables under the car and up on top of the rear mount then under the intake manifold this is the only way they will work.
there will be a set of plugs on the shifter and also a auto shifter selector. that selector has its own wire harness you will need that. its pictured here
YOu dont need the auto shift selector. You do everything on the Harness plug of the shift selector. The diagram above will help you, I dont remember colors.
Clutch safety switch goes to L and M
Reverse switch from tranny goes to G and H
Jump F and I to take your key out (just tie them together)
next comes the ecu. the good thing about the 5th gens 1 they are still obd1 and 2 they have a tcu separte from the ecu so for the guys on a very tight buget you dont have to buy a 5speed ecu all you have to do is take out the tcu. but i got the 5speed. if you do get the 5speed its a stright swap unplug and plug in.
now its time for the tranny mount bracket if you dont want to/or dont have access to weld a new bracket on the frame you can do it my way.
it requiers you to drill the bracket like so
the bottom hole is from the auto mount, there is a pinch weld up and to the left that is where i drilled refer to the pic above. if you do not do this the engine will sit down on the trans side and **** up your axles. so this step is a must
all other mounts are the same
now you ready to drop it back in. on the back of the block bolt up the intermidate shaft. if you havnt done so unbolt the auto trans,trq converter, and auto flywheel,
bolt back up 5speed flywheel and clutch botl up the trans, starter, and slave cylinder. prep the engine bay to drop it back in and reverse how you took it out make sure to check all the lines so the everything is connceted. put the axles in and the knuckles back on. guess what you have just done what cant be done.

Good job rope, when i have some time, i'll see what i can add too
my advice to everybody tho, if you reallyhave questions, read that now 16 page thread, we practically covered most if not all the questions that can probably be raised.

i got most of my parts of a 92 accord for $200, tranny was free but it has now developed some grinds and about $150 on misc bolts, washers, cotter pins, dowel pins, clutch lines etc.. and for clutch it depends on what you get.

Re: 5th gen auto to 5speed conversion write up
i know this is a old thread but i found what i have been looking for the past couple of days, very good write up.
bought an accord with a 5spd swap and its vibrating a bit so wondering if the transmission mount wasn't done properly will have a look at it soon to see how it is.
Good Job

Re: 5th gen auto to 5speed conversion write up
yes you could have a problem with the alignment of the motor if the trans mount wasnt installed correctly

Re: 5th gen auto to 5speed conversion write up
Nice writeup. Just a quick question to make sure I understand a step. I have a 1996 accord lx coupe with an obd 1 ecu. After the swap it done all I have to do is remove the tcu and get an ecu out of a 1996 accord lx with manual tranny and I'm all set..no wiring necessary? Just wondering if someone could clarify this for me. Thanks in advance.
