Im a do it myself person. I work on all my cars and my bike and I'd like to know what parts I need to buy in order to swap my automatic tranny to a manual one. Also I'd like to know what are the biggest rims i can put on a 92' accord


Thanks,
Thomas

 

youll need the trans (obviously ) the pedals, clutch slave, and shifter. btw im on 18's i wouldnt go any bigger unless you plan on running 30 series tires :naughty:

 

Transmission + Mount
Starter for Manual Tranny
Shifter + Shift Cables
Driver’s Side Axle + Intermediate Shaft
Clutch & Flywheel
Clutch Fluid Reservoir
Clutch Pedal, Master & Slave Cylinders, and Clutch Lines
Brake Pedal from Manual Tranny Car

I did this to mine a while ago... not too bad a project. Keep in mind you will have to cut off and then and weld on the correct tranny mount bracket to the chassis. Don't forget to unplug the auto-tranny computer and good luck getting cruise control to work... that one took a while...

 

Thanks for the info guys, now its time to head to the junk yard. I heard i could use prelude parts for this, is this true? If so what year? Thanks again...peace

Yeah... I know for sure that the clutch and flywheel are the same on the Prelude (around the same years, not sure exactly). I believe you may also bolt up a Prelude transmission, but it will have shorter gears. Also... if you find Accord transmissions, the EX tranny's have different ratios than the LX/DX ones, at least 3rd-5th... they're shorter for the EX. Ah what the hell, since I have my service manual right here, here they are:
1st - 3.307
2nd - 1.809
3rd - 1.185 (EX - 1.230)
4th - 0.870 (EX - 0.903)
5th - 0.685 (EX - 0.705)
Final - 4.062
No idea what the Preludes are...
