I've got a 91 Acura integra automatic. I want to change it to 5spd. i was wondering what tranny mount i should use? Do I have to use a custom mount? if so, Who has one? Input from people who have done this swap is needed.

I've never done the sawp, but I will go out on a limb and say that you will need the 5-speed tranny mount. You will also need the pedal assembly (you're gonna need a clutch pedal!), clutch cable, and MAYBE axles (cant say for sure about that, double check the parts #'s with your Acura dealer)..you also may want ot get a 5-speed ECU, but I dont know for sure if you will need it. I hope this helps! Later!

I'm sure someone out there has done this swap before. Need some help here guys. I've asked almost everyone i know. So, i turn to you guys.

I did the swap on my civic. But it should be similar for a teg. You'll need the following parts:
ECU
Manual Trans.
Shift linkage
Shifter
Shiftboot
master cylinder
slave cylinder
clutch resorvoir
clutch lines
flywheel
flywheel cover
manual trans. mounts
if you want you could get a manual guage cluster
clutch pedal
brake pedal

what you should do is go to your acura dealer and ask them for a print out of the diagrams for the master/slave cylinder,pedal assy., and shift linkage because you will need to buy a bunch of brackets and nuts and bolts. Keep the diagrams and give it to whoever is doing the install. Good luck

you will use the 5speed mount and the clutch master cylinder.

I did the swap too on my older (rip) '93 civic dx. Should be pretty close, you'll need the tranny (cable) for your car (and a new clutch), flywheel, the shift linkage/shifter with it, clutch cables, pedal assembly, cut a hole under the auto shifter 4 the shifter, and I think you modify the upper tranny mount (I did) and use the 5-speed mount, you'll also need (I think) the 5-speed axles, also disable the automatic computer (blue box in civics) and replace the computer you have with a 5-speed integra ecu (90-93). Also remove the main part of the auto-shifter, but keep the part that plugs into the harness, then run 2 lines from the reverse sensor on the tranny to the [R] shift position (think its 2 yellow wires, check the schematics) on the old auto-box and you'll have reverse lights. Baam, you'll be str8 for the swap. Not impossible, jus a slight pain. L8R.

simple Question.... Has anybody ever done an auto to manual conversion on a 90-93 model Acura Integra???????????? I dont want to hear about your civic swaps anymore. civic and integra two different cars here. please anybody with info about 90-93 INTEGRAS PLEASE POST. ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IS THE TRANNY MOUNT. i know about the ecu,clutch pedal, clutch cable, flywheel, clutch, shift linkage, axles, etc. etc. etc. etc. ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IS THE FREAKIN MOUNT.

Hey Troy
Where did you get your tranny swap done?
Thanks

Big James

And you are?

Anyway, as far as the Integra goes, a buddy of mine did it, I will ask him tonight about the mount, and post tomorrow if no one has answered yet.

sol-man, I got the swap done by the shop called BOR's Auto repair. There pretty good. My swap came out w/out any problems.718-565-8200. There in NYC.

sol-man

Anyone special I have to speak to?
Did they get all the parts for you?
Thanks

why would you have to swap in a different axle for the swap? i dont get it... never heard of that before

when you take out the auto tranny, are any parts of the original tranny used w/ the 5-speed tranny, or is the complete automatic tranny taken out all at once?

im accumulating parts for my swap too....

I did the tranny swap on my '90 integra GS. The only manual tranny Mount I used was the passenger side one (kept the auto front and rear mounts)...It did work, but I do think that there is currently something wrong with the setup as there is definate vibration and clunking after the car has been started a while (has been on blocks the last 5 months as it's no longer street legal - it's being turned into a race car...slowly). I have heard that there needs to be some sort of fabrication for a proper rear mount on the G2 but I wouldn't know what it should be.
As for the CV shafts, they are the same for auto or manual - the only difference is the intermediate shaft, you will need one for a manual integra.

Thanks

The swap cost me $2500 for parts and labor. All my parts were new except the tranny and flywheel. Checkout Sohfast.com they sell alot of civic parts for cheap.
