1,000 to get a new one install? or that is including a new tranny. my friend here n nyc got a brand new transmission with warranty and including labor for $2000 for a manual transmission 96 accord coupe. if u search here u will find a post that some guy did his for about $500-600 convert to manual that is labor only. when my transmission gives up i will convert to manual if i dont get a new accord v6 manual coupe. huge diff n manual vs auto when it comes to power, but since i live 700hrs a month n traffic auto is a good thing.
