I wanted a second gen Accord wagon EX and I had found a real nice graphite black 97 EX with 70K for a real good price and they are extremely rare up here.
Problem is I passed it up cause it was a auto I want it for a daily driver so I was not about to spend time or money doing a auto to manual swap so I decided to pass and hope for a manual but now I just found out they didnt put 5 speeds in the EX? If this is true what options do I have for a 5 speed in a second gen wagon.

 

honda did make a 5 speed wagon in 95.I just checked I work for a dealer and looked it up..someone misled you..

 

the 94-97 lx's were available as a 5 speed.
i have a 4th gen, a 92 wagon, itis an lx and 5 spd and i swapped an h22a into it...love the car, makes a great daily driver and is still fun to drivfe.

 

I checked KBB.com and they didnt list a 5 speed ex either?
So their is a rare 5 speed second gen? you should check if any were sold with leather seats.
I wouldnt mind a LX but if I got one I know I would swap it right away(I have a problem with that) atleast the EX I would tell my self I wont swap for atleast a year(hopefully)

 

its a big heavy wagon. its not going to be super fast, even with an h22. get an auto, dump it, and relax. thats what i did.

lol, same here

 

btw, the last year honda offered 5spd wagons in ex trim was in 1994. good luck.

 

It doesnt have to be fast, I just cant stand driving autos, I even looked long and hard to find a manual when buying my truck.

 

i had to covert my 91 ex wagon to a 5speed when i put a h22 in.I found lx 5speeds but no ex 5speeds,,if u want that car,,convert it its not that bad

 

I am not worryed about doing the swap if I had to, Its just that I would prefer to find a manual to begin with.
The swap would be easy but when its a DD car you dont want any projects that can take away driveability.

 

just get the lx wagon.
as far as i know the only differences are the engine more power in ex) and the sunroof....i have loved my 5 spd wagon and with the mods i have on it its very comfortable, fairly quick for the car it is, handles very well and is missed badly right now while i prep a new engine for it.

 

I would take a LX if I found one for a good deal.
Its just that I would perfer a EX.

I have a 91 Accord EX Wagon and it's 5-speed (not sure if the previous owner swapped it out though).
