ok i have a 98 accord auto, now i what to change it to stick shift; is it a good idea to change it or not. The dealer would not do it.

 

first off, tell us what engine you got in there.

 

v6

 

That's correct, most all dealers will politely refuse to do work such as that. Has to do with Product Liability and modifying it from it's original configuration. If you did find a dealer to do it, I would presume it would be a "straight Time" one-off job which they'd probably assign to the Lube Rack Jockey as a way to gain experience. (you don't want an inexperienced hack doing this for you).

It's not so much if it's a good thing to do, but rather a determination if the cost and complexity of the swap outweighs the benefits. Rest assured, both routes have issues. A percentage of 6th Gen Accords have exhibited Auto Trans problems, while in the same breath I can also say the manual Trans have issues too.

It's really what you want; and if you want (or don't want) to spend the money to do it.

you can use a f23 tranny on the j30, are you serious? is it easier to do, than a cl 6speed swap. do you know of any websites on how to do that stuff and where i can buy.

i am sure it's a typo.

honda are not that modular

6mt from CL-S would be your best bet

 

I think he missed (completely) the"V6" post

Just remember what isn't stated here. Along with the Transmission (6Spd from a CL-S) you're going to need:

*Pedal Hanger Assemblies from Manual '98 Accord
*Clutch Release System
*Shift Mechanism Assembly
*Shift Cables
*Manual Transmission console Assembly
*Clutch safety override harness and switch
and
*Possibly manual Trans axles
