2015 Accord LX Manual/Automatic swap from CVT
Hi everyone,
I recently got a '15 Accord LX with a CVT, and while I enjoy how the car rides, I hate the CVT itself. Would it be feasible to replace the CVT with either the manual or the automatic, or would it require significant body work, extra parts, and lots more money than just purchasing the transmission? |

That's such a new car that I cannot imagine it's financially sensible to swap it versus selling it and buying one with a manual transmission already.
If you're asking this question I'm assuming it means you're planning on paying someone to do the work which makes it even more cost prohibitive. |

If you can't sell the CVT, and buy a manual with the proceeds, you're probably stuck with it. Swapping engines, and transmissions is nothing like the old days (90's). Everything connected to the transmissions is different, like computers, sensors, wiring harnesses, etc. Even if you had a free donor car, it's just too much work IMO.

Can you elaborate on why you hate the CVT? Perhaps you just need to allow more time to get used to it.

That's a shame. I really do enjoy the car as a whole, it's just that the CVT detracts from the experience for me for the reasons above this message.
