goal: transmission swap to 5 speed manual
i have an idea of ppl that can swap trannys but the average cost ive seen from them for older cars was 1200-2000
question is, what cost would i be lookin at tryin to get a shop to swap the auto to a manual?
would 6 speed even be possible?
any specific damages i shoudl worry about besides "the car may never be the same again"?
would mechanics even be able to mess w/ an 03 accord, being new ?
personally i wouldnt do it right now, later on down the line yes. reason being once u do that u'd void every agrreement (minus a few) that honda has to ur ride, which means if there are an recallls u can be assed out. now i know people buy new cars and build them into show cars take their chances warranty wise but are u willing to do that? now parts wise ur fine since all they have to do is get the stock tranny from the accord coupe (6speed) once its released and its a straight swap no added questions or worries
