Converting a 90 Accord DX Auto to Manual transmission

Ahhhhh daniel san, another tranny conversion! I can tell you all about it since I did mine myself (2 years ago). The hardest part is relocating the tranny mount bracket (this means cutting and welding) to accept the manual tranny. Other than that it is pretty straightforward actually. Many parts are needed (try a salvage yard for a wrecked 1990 5-Speed), and a lot of time. FYI, you do not need a new ECU, and it takes some wiring to get the cruise control to work again. It cost me just over $600 in parts to do mine... good luck and happy shifting!! p.s., get a lightened flywheel while you're at it!!!!
