Default Is it possible

Is i possible to turn my auto into slap style or flappy style shifter. Theoretically yes but has it been done
i ask because i miss having a manual and do not want to swap car to manual. If so how would it be done

Yes, there is a company that makes a universal paddle shifter kit for all automatics:

You need this:
https://paceperformance.com/i-238601...ontroller.html

and this:
https://paceperformance.com/i-238363...h-display.html

But I would call them to make sure you have all the parts necessary.

Good luck.

Thanks for the help but at that price not a reasonable price manual swap would be less

97-02 Accord SiR CF4 had the S-Matic transmission where the engine had a manumatic shifter that allowed for manual selection in any gear with control via the shifter.



I believe it was the same transmission as the 98-02 USDM H/F series, which would mean you wouldn't need the complete transmission just the harness/PCM/shifter to get similar functionality. But you will need to verify that. If you have emissions testing, this will not be an option as the JDM PCM will not communicate with USDM OBDII.

For the 90-97(USDM) you could manually shift the transmission via control of the shift solenoids as the various computations of ON/OFF would select the various gears. But to integrate that as well as maintain normal automatic control via the TCU would be a bit more work. There are various aftermarket controllers and stand alone units out there to allow paddle shifting. If you go this route the biggest item you would want to copy from the original TCU programing is the grade logic for the TC lockup functionality.

Soinds like you went in a circle. Just swap the manual in, you will be happier and its the cheapest thing to do.

Crazy.

The way, is to start with a manual transmission vehicle.

My neighbor bought his 5 speed 96 Accord for $800. Clean body 120k. ...He spent over $1200 on wheels for it from Tirerack.

Cargurus has 3 of them within 100 miles.

true, unless you have some totally restored vehicle, it proabbly is easier to just swap cars, sell yours, buy the manual.
