hey ya'll, this is my first post on the site and it's a big one. Last week a i blew the motor in my 95 prelude si automatic. I did some shopping around and decided to go with a local shop callled Precision R. I'm getting the jdm h22 with the auto to manual conversion for $4,400 . What do you all think of the price? The shop is pretty well known around San Antonio and I've heard they do good work. Just though i would share with you all what's going on with my car. Can't wait till it's back in my hands!!!

 

Thats almost 2 g's for labor. I would look around for better labor stuff, now it could be more cause of the transmission( I don't know those labor costs). If you get a shop to do just an engine swap normally it is around 500-1000 for labor.

 

damn thats way too much money...

you better get a with that

 

call the guys at Japan Star they have H22A for 1750.00

 

WOW thats a lot of money. If you can get the parts i can do the install for much less than them.
PM me if you are interested.

 

you guys are forgetting about the auot to manuel swap that is gonna cost some dough

 

in all honesty its not that tough have a couple of your buddies help you and do it yourselves, use the extra money for

 

I wanted to do the auto to manual tranny conversion a while back myself. I have a very detailed write-up on how to perform the conversion. If you want that file, PM me about it. Other than that, $4,400 seems like a LOT of money to have that done. I say you look a little more into this to find a better deal or else decide if this is a job you could do yourself with the help of a few others. If you did it yourself you would cut the price bigtime. That's just my opinion. Good luck.
