Can't seem to find a walk-through on this, and the FAQ doesn't have anything about it.

Picking up a 4th gen, unsure of year and miles at this time, 100% complete with a blown motor and some minor damage to the driver side body that I can clean up easily, and a little rust on the sunroof and hood. Price is very very very reasonable so I jumped on it, hopefully picking it up within the next 1-2 weeks. It's an automatic, which needs to change.

I'm wanting to know how hard it is to do a conversion, is it harder or easier than doing the conversion on an Integra? I would think it would be easier due to the cables over linkages and such.

 

took me 0.54 seconds.

its easy enough if you're at least somewhat mechanically adept. I did it by myself with basically no REAL experience with this (literally, did my first oil change last summer)

I'm gonna do a write up myself whenever i have time, but just some info that may or may not be useful. You can use almost everything out of an accord if you cant find a prelude with everything. Things you CANNOT use out of accords are halfshaft (ive heard if you use the cv axle as well it will work, but i cant confirm that) the clutch pedal is apparently not interchangeable, again i cant confirm or deny that because i didnt wana dick with it. 5th gen accords have transmissions that will work, however 4th gen accords do not. (this i can absolutely confirm, PLEASE learn from my mistakes so you dont have to drop a tranny and put it back in 5 times in 3 days like i did)

You dont need to replace the entire gas/brake pedal assembly, just use the bake arm out of another prelude or an accord. I pulled mine out of a '91 accord, and it works fine, however i hear that the 4th and 5th gen accord brake pedals bend in opposite directions, so be aware of that if you're pulling from a 5th gen accord

Also, if you dont really feel like dicking with the clutch hardlines, or break them taking them out, just order a long piece of stainless steel line with 10 and 12 mm ends with 1.0mm thread pitch, i used about an 8 foot line...a lil more than i really needed, but it works

Any other questions feel free to ask

 

Auto to manual transmission conversion is what I'm needing to do, already know how to do a tensioner conversion as I did that on my last prelude. Thanks for the reply, though.

So basically, to make it the easiest, I would need to have or know someone that has a 4th gen lude and just swap all the 5pd stuff over. I would imagine since the shifter assembly is a lot nicer and easier to work with compared to a linkage shifter assembly, the conversion shouldn't be as hard. The braided line is a great idea, and I will definitely be looking in to that because I HATE messing with hard lines. Plus, as we all know, braided lines look/are cooler than those dirty old gray hard lines.
