Auto To MAnual Yes i Searched
My Car: 1994 Honda Accord EX Automatic Transmission
My Parts Car: 1994 Honda Accord DX Manual Transmission
Is my parts car sufficent? How hard and how much should it cost me too chnage my auto car to a manual? I am going to do it myself with the help of some friends, so no labor costs.
I think all I will need that the cars don't have is a diferent motor mount.

it's because SOHC vtec sucks.
it really doesn't do much and it was just there to give the car a slightly extended torque curve. the end result is a torque curve that is smoother, but not specifiacally that much better.
all in all you aren't doing something that is wise, a manual converion will cost you money in two ways, first to do the conversion, second when you sell the car it will be worth less money. i say sell this car and either buy a manual accord or buy a newer car with more balls than a SOHC I4

94 Accord EX Auto 130,000 miles, 4 door Alpine deck, clean with Motegi MR7 17" and brand new General Exclaim UHP tires
I was thinking a Prelude or an Integra
