For a while now ive been gatherin up information on doin my auto to manual conversion. Ive posted once already getting opinions from other people and different thoughts. I dont wanna jump into somethin without knowing as much as possible. So far since ive had my accord the hardest thing ive done is help do my h22 swap. Ive read up on almost all the threads that i found online about doin the conversion and the parts ill need, but i still run into the problem of being newer to maryland, and not having a ton of experience working on cars. I was wondering if anyone is located in maryland and is a good mechanic, wanting to make a little money to help me do the conversion. Any help would be great, whether it be info on the conversion or any place to find help lol thanks


o one last thing, idk where to find the bracket ill need to mount my manual tranny, if anyone knows id appreciate it

 

Shane, I don't know if you have a Pull a part type junkyard near you, but if you do, you'll most likely find all the little nic knacks/brackets, etc you'll need, and they are VERY cheap.

In terms of making money - pull your auto trans, find a same year auto trans that has failed, buy it, put yours in, sell it, deposit money in bank. I see at least 3-4 auto accords that have failed every week on craigslist, some selling as low as 300 bucks...

 

I just found a you-pull junk yard last week and stopped by but amazingly they didnt have anything useful, (for my manual conversion,everything i need has all been pulled). All they had were bodies with nothing left almost. I have been looking on craigslist but havent thought about getting another accord to drop my good transmission in, thanks for that idea. So far ive found the small stuff i need, ie. Clutch pedal assembly and clutch lines. I want to buy the master cylinder and slave cylinder new from the parts store, But the clutch itself and the flywheel im going aftermarket. Idk which setup im gonna go with though. Another thing, if anyone has any input on clutches and flywheels that they may like or not like ill take the info and use it when making my descision. Appreciate it


**in my original post i wrote if anyone is located in maryland and is a good mechanic, i meant that if they are in MD and are a good mechanic and would like to make some money they can message me so maybe we can work something out when i need to do my conversion.
