A shop quoted me $2600 through email for a 5-speed swap in my CG3. His quote was the same for the H22a & F23 trannys. His quote also includes everything such as axles ,trans,shift linkage,ecu,pedal assembly,new clutch,mounts.

What other questions should I ask before considering this? I've seen problems with vtec not engaging after these swaps--what exactly goes wrong? Should there be a warranty in place for this service?

Does this price sound reasonable to you if the job is done correctly? Considering I heard a quote of $4000 from another shop, this offer seems fair. Keep in mind I'm in Southern Ca.

nope the price is too hight. Ive done auto to manual conversion on my integra and everything added up to $900. Its not that hard, do your research, get all your parts ready i mean all of them bolts nuts everything and do it yourself. Youll save a lot of money and learn something.

I agree. Price is too high.

I think I got mine done under a grand. It's not too bad. I did it by myself and took me about 4 days, 6-7 hr/day lol. it was after like 2 years of research tho lol.

it's not reasonable or sensible to pay someone to do and auto->manual swap. from-the-factory manual CG3 are available.

if you can afford the $1,600 they are overcharging you couldn't you also afford to buy a manual equipped version of what you have now then sell your car? you should at least come out even. maybe even make a small profit if you're good.
