so in total that's 3300 bucks ... you do realize that's a just a couple hundred dollars short of your car's value right?

Just get the 6spd swap done it's totally worth it. I've driven TheHunter's v6 6spd, I love it. It's a totally different car. I believe he spent some where around $3000 including Richie's harness.

the best part about a manual trans is that you don't have to worry about beating the **** out of it ... well as long as you know what your doing that is

This is the main reason why I love manuals, especially Honda manual transmission. They can a beating and nothing will happen to them. You get feel the power what motor has, no matter it's a 4cyl or v6 you get to use what the motor is capable of. Oh and that price I gave you $3,000 that's with the harness and labor.

honestly it was the best i could find, and my mechanic highly suggested the company (cant remember who it was) and no one around here would do the swap and im big into building stereos or working on v8's still working on the honda info... but i needed to get the car on the road... no one would do it cheaper. a transmission through jasper was like 3500

Well a lot of Honda 6spds are known for grinding 3rd gear, but other than that they're solid. As long as you break in the clutch properly you shouldn't have any problems.

And yeah with both the i4 and V6 6GA's, if you want a manual it's well worth the time and any extra money you might spend for the swap.
