Questions about 1999 Honda Accord
EX, I4, AT
I had a couple of questions.
1. How much would it cost to convert the transmission to either a 5spd or 6spd (price for each would be preferred), and how much extra would it cost to have a mechanic do it for me?
2. What are the cheapest and easiest legal ways to increase performance?
Will add more if I think of any.

Re: (SLATER97EX)
My '98 was converted from an auto to 5-speed in September. Here is the 6th gen conversion parts list I came up with and some misc details about the swap...
Five speed tranny
Tranny mounts
Clutch
Flywheel and flywheel bolts
Driver's side axle and half shaft
5-speed starter
Clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and lines (revised parts from Honda)
Clutch pedal and brake pedal assemblies
Shifter assembly
3 wire speed sensor connector
5-speed ECU
I bought the shifter assemby from Majestic Honda because it lists every part for it on one page, although it was pricey. I picked up a used set of pedal assemblies but Majestic has all the parts listed for that as well.
Make sure you get the VIN number of the car that the 5-speed ecu was pulled from. It will make the immobilizer reprogramming go much smoother and quicker at the Honda dealership. The immobilizer process ran me just over $100 at the local Honda dealership and maybe an hour and a half of down time.
I'm pretty sure the speed sensor connector can be pulled from any 5-speed Honda. I pulled mine from a EG Civic and it works fine.
My swap ran me about $1500 in parts including a heavy duty ACT clutch and flywheel ($500) and one of the more spendy transmissions ($475 shipped when they can be had to $100 less with more miles, mine only had 24k miles). The swap ran about 12 hours of labor, beginning to end.
I think that's it. Best mod I've ever done to my 6th gen Accord

I agree. If you haven't already dumped a lot of time and money into the automatic Accord, your best bet would be to sell it and find a 5-speed if you are looking to mod the car.
