    I've been thinking about going with a manual tranny swap for some time and now I'm really considering it. This is a very common swap for 6th gen accords since the auto trannies in them are pretty weak.

    Who is town can do this type of tranny swap? Recommendations?

    Just exploring my options at this point but appreciate any advice/feedback!

                They're pretty easy. I'd talk to SLS if I was you.

                  i don't think it's out of "your ass" if you know what all has to be done to it.

                        It's definatly no little job, there's a lot of parts swapping to be done.

                          Truthfully it kind of sucks to do it. Its not the thing for a newbie to try.

                            I'm pretty sure Fitzy and I could do it for ya. I remember Fitzy pretty much did all the work when Fradete's car was swapped to a 5spd.

                                very very true, and you also have to find all of the parts

                                    since i've started working there, we have done at least 2 auto to man. trans swaps, and i think i have a clue on whats going on there Nick.
                                    Not only that, he ask for a place to go, so i told him were to go and see what it would cost. and why do you have to be an ass to everyone that say go to tintmasters and get a quote, you don't see me ever flame your company or any of your work.
