I am officially starting my mission of swapping my 96 integra ls automatic into a 5spd have the money ready and ordering or purchasing parts tomorrow, its gonna costs 600 labor and 800 in parts so I will let u know how it goes

 

excellent.....please do

 

lol im doing the same .. 96 ls as well

 

errr 1400 total in parts n labor.... sell ur ls... use that 1400 towards a gsr

 

that seems a bit steep, unless its a lsd. the labor is high if you ask me?

 

wheres the great info?

 

man i thought i was the only 96 auto ls . Also are you ordering these parts from honda for only 800???? If so ill start my swap asap lol

 

is that a 5 speed from a LS? because my friend was thinking of doing the samething and he asked for a 5speed from a GSR - quoted 2000 for everything...

lol i've got one too. i think 2 people did the auto to manual swap on this board, shadowdawn was one for sure. too bad he didnt get to prove the difference in 1/4mile time.

Good luck on your project, but yeah, where is the great info???

 

does the tranny have a lsd? was the 800 for parts the great info? if so damn.....

 

really bro if i was you ide use the 1400$ and sell your car and buy a gsr or a ls 5 speed. the car will never be the same again if you do the swap. and it will be a pain in the butt to get done

 

yeah definitely, don't waste your money, find a new 5spd ls or gsr

 

**** it man .. i have a 98 auto ls and im doing the same thing ... except im using a cable tranny from a 92 ls teg. so far i have the tranny, clutch ,and flywheel. im just waiting on income tax return to get the loot for the rest! its gonna be a pain in the *** but well worth it.. are you doing it yourself or are you paying someone to do it?

pressure plate/flywheel - 40
shift boot w/center console - 25
gsr clutch disc - 10
LS 45k tranny with shift linkage, hydrolic hardlines, master and slave cyl. pedal assembly -600
Half shaft - 45
97 LS ecu p75 - 45
labor - 200
aftermarket shift ****: 18

so total of: 983 with everything including labor..

 

good luck dude

 

tyhe hardest part of this swap im my opinion is findind a decent tranny that isnt over priced like so many ive seen

 

what great info!!!!!
LOL
advice:

ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sell and buy a new car......

 

kinda pricey.. but way to go.

 

okay guys sorry pc was down ofr a bit..


okay well heres the story, I got my 1996 integra for dirt cheap pretty much for free. so I wanted a 5spd, I dont see how it will be a waste when everything overall is pretty much considered an upgrade. If I purchase an engine from a hmotorsonline, they come with a tranny and over all even if I do that. it will still be the way its suppose to, if it was a 5spd from the factory, it wont be any different, and from the way things look i THINK i WANNA copy the one stud who put a h22 in his integra. lol that was a beauty lol kidding

 

dammit why can't people make descriptive post titles

 

man it's easier to sell it and buy a 5 speed but since you've hung with the car already then it's already got sentimental value to it. That's why some people rather just go through with the swap. Plus I think lots of mechanical knowledge will be gained and clarified. Good Luck!

 

knowledge yes hands on hell no i wouldnt dare do it myself or even with the pap's who is a mechanic I am gonna have a shop do it this way if someone f's up I have someone to blame

 

good luck
I have a 94 rs auto which I love, but the minute I'm done with school I'm selling it for a GSR
not worth the work when you can get a GSR here in NYC cheap, everyone here wants to drive bling bling these days...............Escalades and such
well not everybody but you get the idea
