Nice & clean looking Accord. It's seen a few face lifts over the years eh! You can see the progression of how things have changed over time. That's just from looking at your grill & headlights.

So was it a good decision to go to the 5 spd?...lol I Bet it feels nice to have real control of that V6.

 

there has been quite a few face-lifts ...
quite a few changes

I 1000% know that swapping to 5 speed was the best decision I've done.
Unfortunately, there were some stepping stones during the process and as well as some un-forseen things happen over the years, but nothing to do with the 5 speed swap...

I am still on the same clutch

 

i have a 95 accord v6 and thinking about converting it in to manual and had a couple of questions about the required parts.
wher can i get the: Custom Engine mounts side mounts and tranny mounts?
the clutch, brake and gas pedals, wht car are they out off?
wht about the shift linkage?
isn't the stock engine a 4 speed? how do i convert that to a 5 speed trasmission?
and, wht are the trouble that you ran in to?

Thanks ahead for the help!!!

 

I remember that Accord. Thats one clean *** V6 Accord! Loving the 5spd conv.

 

Thanks man,
I've been working hard to keep her in great shape.

Still pulling away from lots of newer cars and surprising a lot of ppl

All good, one life to live.

i have a 97 v6 accord and i wanted to do a manual swap and i just wanted to know what you need to do the swap and how much will it cost

 

I'm sure there's quite some work to get it to fit the C27 engine, but it'll be worth it.

 

Did you keep the auto cluster in it?

 

bbbbuuuummmppp

 

If you search you'll find his parts list, I literally just posted a link in another thread.

His user activity was inactive since November 30.... I don't think he's going to see your bump.

 

Im curious as to what axels did you use for the tranny? Did you use the 1st gen legend axels? I have been wanting to do that conversion to my CE6. Was the conversion kinda on the expensive side? Please respond in PM.

 

Sadly, his last user activity was back in January. I've been admiring his work for some time, both with his C27 whp and his 5-speed swap. Honda should have offered this option!

 

I couldnt agree more! I would love the 5 speed tranny on the C27.

 

I'm here
I'm alive guys

what would you like to know

hope all of you had a better summer then I did

 

Hey good to finally meet you in person--er--pixels. I first heard of your swap and engine work from sam-o-nela over on the Legend boards, so I came to learn all I could here.

Sorry you had a rough summer! I'm assuming much of your work was custom (headers/exhaust), what kind of FPR did you use, a rising-rate?

 

Most respected V-6 5th gen accord to date.

 

hey
I'm back guys

What's going on HT?
long time no posting

hope all is well with you all

 

Hey man I've Bren thinking of doing the swap so can you PM me to give the correct steps to going abou it thanks
