I am in the market to buy a used 5th gen prelude..all the ones I am seeing have the tiptronic trannies, what's involved with swithching the tranny to a 5 speed manual?

Too much.

You're better off travelling or waiting for a local manual 5th-Gen.

why don't you buy a prelude with a 5 speed manual already in it?

You'd be much better off just waiting to find a manual.

DONT BUY THE TIPTRONIC!
STEP AWAY FROM THE AUTOMATIC PRELUDE....
I had bought an auto before i knew everything i do now and it sucks. If you can buy the 5speed do it. Im doing the manual swap right now b/c i love my lude too much and i dont want to sell it to buy a manual one.
Well i was going to start the swap christmas break untill i got in a small wreck yesterday...

now i have to wait even longer
