did you have it done? if so, is that including all the parts, or just labor?

$2800 seems a little high.

I would say closer to $2,500 w/ new clutch, labor, tranny, and 5sp parts. It all depends on labor rates and what you can get a tranny for.

I suggest a H23 92-96 prelude Si tranny.

Actually labor is closer to $1,000. An auto-manual swap with a motor swap runs about an extra $400 in labor.
