Hi, I'm a new member here, but I've been trolling forums all over to try and get an idea of what I can do to swap in a manual. I'd like to start getting some real power out of the car and that has to start with a nice manual tranny
I'll be getting a manual tranny off another F23a 6th gen Accord as well as all the other necessary parts from a junkyard so I compiled a list of things I will need for this project but I had some questions. I've hear there are some wiring harness problems and issues with the vtec as well. Is there a way I can just change wiring harnesses without having to splice wires and otherwise ghettorig this thing? I want it to work like it's factory instead of having funky issues. I'm not too concerned about changing the guages out for the manual ones right off the bat. Here's my list so far-
Transmissions Assembly
Transmission mounts - side
Flywheel and bolts
Clutch Kit and bolts
Clutch reservoir and plumbing
Clutch Master Cylinder
Clutch Slave Cylinder
Hydraulic Lines
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Reverse Lights Switch
Clutch Pedal Assembly (bracket, sensors, nuts, bolts)
Brake pedal from manual Accord
Shifter Assembly (cables, nuts, bolts, seals, shift knob, and boot in black)
Shift linkage
5 speed ECU (must be 2001 Accord 2.3 manual)
5 speed Intermediate shaft (Driver's side half-shaft)
5 speed starter (Do I need this?)
