IF there are parts that are difficult to find for the swap...wouldnt certain prelude parts bolt right up??
I don't think there are too many rare parts at all. Everything seems to be readily available.
I wouldn't even consider touching a tranny myself. -
i did/ am doing auto to 5-speed conversion. the hardest part is finding all off the parts.
you also could need differant cross members, brake pedal or assembly depending on how it is on the vehicle, shifter, shift boots, center counsel.
i have been buying parts when i see them for sale for over a year and on the last couple i am resorting to buying new. i didnt really have a set time i needed them so ive just been picking them when i see them and the motor is going back in in the next couple weeks so i just ordered new parts.

Geez... there sure is some drama in this thread. I say if you have the time and a place, try to do it yourself. I have done plenty of auto to manual swaps and manual to auto swaps over the years. If you can find all the parts its fairly easy depending on the car. I am not fimiliar with your car really, but doing the swap should be just all mechanical parts, I don't think the wiring will matter, but I have run into cars that have to use a wiring harness for a manual car. Either way if you figure out what your doing, and need help or someone to do it for you, I am always up for a challenge. If you go with a new automatic, I could probally throw it in fairly reasonable too.

Where is a decent place to look at and price used trannies? I've looking at car-part.com.

car-part is probably the most consistantly inexpensive place to find parts

Transmission from a 2000 Accord with 24k miles
ACT heavy duty clutch & flywheel
OEM slave cylinder, master cylinder, pedal assemblies, shifter assemblies, axle & half shaft, blah, blah, blahCar is all done except reflashing the ecu for the Honda immobilizer, which will be done at Corwin tomorrow. I did drive it home tonight but the car is in limp mode...no vtec and fuel cut at 4700rpm.
Thanks to Nick and Tony at SLS for putting up with my constant phone calls about this shit over the last few weeks.
Last but not least, BIG thanks to Frank at SLS. Frank really knows his shit and really bent over backwards to get this done for me. I can't thank him enough for finishing my car under the circumstances.

It certaintly was a long and tideous process to track down all those odd and end parts(and sometimes irritating trying to get the right parts coming), but it seemed to come together nicely right at the last!
You helped us out a lot by having your homework done on this and sourcing a lot of the parts. Thanks again Jason.
