I was planning on doing an auto to manual conversion on my 96 LX accord, and after extensive searching through this site, i've got a general idea about this. The only thing is, where in So Cal would be the best place to look for these parts and what is the price range for all these parts? Also lets say if i were to just get it done at a shop, how much am i looking at on average when it comes to one of these conversions as an entirety? Know of any good shops in So Cal preferably around the LA/Pasadena area that deal with things like this, anybody?

I just also want to emphasize that i do not want to just do an entire H22 swap because I was planning on boosting my f22, thats why i'm looking to convert to a manual tranny. I do feel the H22 is a good swap in an accord, but from what i heard, if the f22 is turboed, it'll generate greater HP, some at 200+ WHP. I made this decision carefully for i was thinking about the H22 for some time now, but a larger reason has to do with the amount of money which in the end just mite break even between manual conversion then boosting and the H22 swap.

Any input is helpful and appreciated. TIA

Was just wondering around how much did all the parts come out to? did you do the converting urself?

The ratios could be a little better.

 

I got a new clutch, flywheel, throw-out bearing, starter, and driver side axle; and everything else I got used and it cost me $600 to do. But me and a friend did all the work ourselves. So, of course, figure more if you take it to a shop.
