Ok so my transmission acts up occasionally and has trouble getting from drive back to reverse and park quite often so I'm worried that the tranny might fail me soon (over 175,000 miles already)

If my transmission fails I want to do the 03-xx accord six speed since I heard you can get one new for 850 from a dealership. I was just wondering what the total cost would be for ecu and mounts and shop and stuff if I just got the 6speed and not the type s engine and all that jazz

 

still about close to 3-4gs...IMO

Might be less,Might be more.

 

^ would it be a bad idea to do the conversion and keep original motor? I was gonna get a tsx or rsx-s for graduation but if my transmission dies I thought I would just be losing alot of money parting out the car rather than just fixing it and keeping it

 

haha jcharged I just realized I pulled that 850 thing out of something I heard in your thread a while back and that was talking about lsd. all my posts today are very low IQ..

 

hey check out the black market forum there's a guy selling the whole 6MT kit for $500 I believe.

 

whoa thanks man. I'm gonna have to ask my parents if I can take out a 1000 loan to get the parts and pay to get help.

 

Use the search button more often this stuff has been covered. If your going to pay someone to do it like a shop you can add a few more K to the total bill. If your going to spend the time and money use the type-s motor also check into the modules if you insist on keeping your motor.

 

^ im first in line with the complete 6spd swap. haha, kris used his 99tl motor and swapped in a 6spd.

 

^ I'm sorry I know you get sick of people asking but when I searched I never saw a price quote for swapping the tranny if you have a tl-p and aren't switching motors

 

Yea but he STILL doesnt have vtec or full use of his motor

 

Price quote would be the same, just take the price of the motor out. the extra wiring would be the price of the modules.

 

yup i know, why doesnt he just get a cl-s6 ecu and wiring harness?

 

oh ok. well thanks man

and Rajca I see that you beat me to that 6 spd swap in the black market

 

yup when i saw that i was like flies on shit, ive been searching for over a year for a wrecked 6spd cl-s. but this is even better.

 

ya tell me if you don't get it

 

Money money money money. MOONNEEY.




My motor was fine.. didn't need to be replaced. My 4 speed automatic transmission went out and I was way out of warranty. They wanted $2800 for the new auto trans and I put in the used 6 speed for about the same. I'm fine with not having everything running right.. for now. It runs and gets me to work and school which is all I need from it right now.

 

theirs another person in front u your, post on their that u got 3rd dibs

 

y dont u go to a junk yard and maybe youll find the ecu and wiring harness, slip the ecu in your pocket if u cant afford it.

 

Only one junk yard around here and it never has shit.

 

that sucks, well i got no work next week so i might hit up a couple junkyards for some stuff and ill let u know if i spot anything that u might need.

 

i want that 6MT too..

 

6MTUA5, it should say Ahhhh... Sssssss... over your avatar

 

and that would be me! If Rajca doesnt get this I will be making a B line move over to STL for pickup

 

I can have my cousin pick it up for you.

 

that would work too

 

Talked it out with parents, I'm gonna wait it out. No point spending money I don't have on something I may not ever need. If my transmission was more messed up I would get the loan but I'd rather get my car paid off first. I owe less than 2k now

 

Yea if your trans is fine now, just wait it out. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I had my TL completely paid off and took out a loan to do the swap.
