all the obvious stuff.. plus you have to weld the shifter support/bracket to the car. the bolt holes are not all there between auto/manual.

Any more info on this? Is there a complete how to thread for Auto to Manual swaps? Because my 94 is AT and I really want a manual. Thinking about doing the swap myself. Also, is there a how to on 5 lug conversions?

Actually i'm researching this topic too since my auto tranny took a dump. But my prelude is a 98 tho so I don't know if it's the same method and parts but here's the link from prelude power forums http://www.************.com/forums/s...d.php?t=280367
it's actually not expensive to do. For some reason Honda-tech won't let me link it.

Here's another link. but I think it might differ from the 4th gen and 5th gen swap but not sure. http://www.mazmo.com/zameoj/swap.htm

While reading the articles it stated that everything should just bolt on since all the holes for the manual parts are present in the engine bay but once again it might just be a 5th gen thing.

yea but im sure its a hella lot cheaper to hit up a scrap yard and get most of what i need then just buy a whole other car. plus its my first lude and it grew on me.

i gave up all my plans of modding it up for now im just restoring it. i picked it up for 3bills over 2 years ago and its still drives like a champ.

random update. I ended up converting to manual it only to about a day of time and about 150$ of junkyard parts. most expensive was the trans. I've been DD for a while now. I did a write up on another forum if any are interested. no welding needed just drilling
