for those of you that started the 6sp swap could you give me all the part numbers needed for the cl-s6 handbrake conversion

 

I would like them also! or if anyone knows of a place where I can find the parts used!

 

1, 3, 4, 6, 7,



And you will also need

#5

 

cool, thank you sir now do i just disconnect the foot brake and be able to use that brake cable?

 

you would probably remove the foot brake, and the cable that attaches the foot brake to whatever part 3 in the first diagram above replaces, then install part 3 onto the rear cables and then install part 1, install part 7 onto the long bolt of part 1, slide the long bolt through part 3, with part 4 installed at the same time, then thread part 6 onto the end of the long bolt...use part 6 to adjust the cable's to have proper tension.

install part 5 after you have the hand brake in, and have adjusted the cable.

if you go to the dealer and gat part #'s for all those parts, please post them....that will make this a great thread for the future.

 

once i get around to buying all the shit ill go ahead and post the part #'s lol i had to read that post like 4 times i kept saying to myself huh? lol anyone have pics on this being done for there 6mt swaps????

 

it's not hard at all if you are mechanically inclined! It confused me for a second when I read it though!

 

lol i wouldnt consider myself to be a master mechanic but all i do in my spare time is work on either mine or my buddys cars. so im confident i can do it. ive just never worked on any sort of parking brake before. still kinda new to me lol

 

i wanna do this mod too!

 

its easy as hell.

 

I can't believe I have never thought about looking this up. I've always wanted a handbrake instead but I've never thought about actually doing it, let me know how it goes

 

Part #s are in one of the 6 speed threads i made.

Yes remove the foot brake, then disconnect the cable (where it joins under the center console) You will have to carefully drill out 2 holes to get to the nuts underneath to bolt the brake down.

 

I went to the acura dealer by my house today, the total for all the parts needed is $186.60, so that's the price with no discount, it may vary dealer to dealer!

 

yea thats about the same price i was lookin at thanks for the info

 

Before


After


There were already holes in mine

 

^thanks man

 

hmm.. i want to do this too.. $180? hmmm that's a bit much

 

hmm, thats a pretty nifty mod. obviously brand new parts are pricey, but maybe if by summer i can pick up some used ones... once the weather warms up it'll be time to mod again

just to clarify tho, the ebrake is 2 lines when coming up the center console. it then joins to become one exactly where 6MTUA5 pics show it? and it then runs from there all the way to the foot brake? so to do this mod, i just take off my center console, unwind the unified ebrake line from going torward the foot brake, and instead just attack it to the handbrake assembly? doesnt seem that hard to do

 

does that price include cupholder?

 

dam i swear we all think the same!!!, i was just thinking about doing this, but im most likely gonna wait for my swapp......hey you never know.

 

Cupholders are awesome. The ebrake looks great too.

 

I was thinking about this a couple weeks ago always thinking why did the make a foot brake instead of hand brake

 

i guess to free up the center console????

 

yes, the cup holder was the most expensive part.

cup holder-$114.48
lever assy-$66.22
Pin equalizer-$.65
Equalizer-$2.18
Nut-$1.27
Spring-$1.80

 

Look around for these parts used. I got the cupholder in excellent condition off eBay for $38.

 

wow thats a lot cheaper and easier than i would have imagined.
great thread and lots of great info here.

i may attack this project later on even though i'll be staying 5at.

 

Definitely going to do this asap.

 

^lets do it... looks sick

 

You also have to cut a good but away with a Dremel or something like it




Before




After

 

Nice job 6MTUA5

Two questions, can the handbrake be installed without taking out the seats?
and how come your handbrake looks crooked when its up?

SSTL

 

wow..this thread is great guys!! Hmmmm

 

You have to take out the seats to get the carpet up.
It is sort of slanted, that's just the angle that it sits at.

 

I was just thinking about this the other night while driving in the snow. Sometimes to get out of a bad situation the E-brake can do wonders. Having it on the floor with a pump set/release it's not wise to do so.

 

I might do this conversion before the 6MT swap. . . I hate the foot pedal

 

i found the hand brake parts on acuraoemparts.com for 156.29 shipped. thats not too bad since all the parts are brand new.

 

Sometimes my wife hates this forum because it makes me want to spend money. I can't wait to do this!

 

thank god im not married lol... i cant wait to do this conversion

 

Since I work at a car dealer, I get discounts on my Acura parts. I sent in a quote request to my local Acura dealer to see how much parts are for me. Hopefully they'll be pretty cheap.

 

juan u wanna tackle this project ill give u a hand

 

My price on the parts is $126.94 after taxes! This should be
