I only paid like 130$ each for them...Yeah I'm getting bored of them, I might change them when I change the front end over and see if I could pull off gun metal rims. I'd love a set of green TE 37's
New Canadian Here ( I got a 6th GEN )

Yeah 5 speed swap ain't cheap. I got at lease 1100$ invested in this swap so far. Then again new A/T Tranny is over 800$
175$ I picked up a working/complete F23A1 M/T Tranny, Came with the slave/master cylinder, Pedals, Shifter Assembly.
125$ for a 99 Accord M/T ECU
300$ for a 11LB flywheel, Stage 3 Exedy Clutch/Pressure Plate/Throw Bearing Rated for 350 HP.
New Axles was like 300$ w/ 1/2 Shaft, Got another used axle.
Motor Mounts Cost Me 150$
Clutch Line 40$
Pulled a Spare Master Cylinder off my buddies Civic.
If needed got a Spare H23A1 M/T if I want to use the speed sensor or any other parts. I paid 180$ for a whole engine/tranny.
Found a guide for a 6th Gen Auto/Manual swap on Honda Tech, Then parts list for 5th Gen but gotta swap the 5th gen with 6th Gen stuff. Can use my stock harness.
I got my car club helping me and friends, 3 garages. So I'm covered. Thx though.

No prob. Yeah I am going to spend around 1,300 on all oem parts. But the tranny I got only has 18k on it. I got hella luck with that, im just doing to resurface the flywheel. The auto tranny is expensive pluss it will just break again over time. I heard of people having issues with the pedal assembly bracket. Particulary where the clutch it mounted. Apparently there needs to be a spacer of some sort so u can fully open your clutch because the floor keeps your pedal from fully opening the clutch. I guess the manual accords have a welded spacer of some sort. I would give you more details but I wasnt clear on that myself. Also its a b*tch to drill a hole so u can mount the master cylinder. The job isnt that hard, since our automatic honda already has the necessary oem parts to swap in. I think the hardest thing was just locating all the parts.
Dont forget, you will need a manual starter too. I dont think the automatic ones work. not 100% tho, BEST OF LUCK. Let me know ur car feels afterwards. We lose so much power through an automatic tranny. They say it takes an automatic 50hp vs 35hp for a manual to do the same job. =)

Yeah I got a manual starter as well. With my Auto Tranny, I'm running last dyno 113/115
So I'm hoping the 5 speed, light weight flywheel etc I'll get over 130 WHP.

U should be hitting over that provided u have the basics and quality parts. There is one guy on here who claimed 140 or so to the wheel another one claims 144 with an automatic. Not too sure about how reliable they are. Just saying.
Your car will be under 3000lbs too with a manual. The autos are heavy. I would love to see a video once your car is done, do u have any plans after ur swap? A lightweight flywheel is nice but there are some toque losses with that.
I might go as far as getting an aftermarket clutch kit, but I will most likely keep the oem flywheel. I dont plan on boosting or anything like that.
I do have this crazy idea in my head. K24 bottom end with a k20 swap, with a 6speed tranny. Sounds like heaven to me. lol Might just be cheaper tho to bore out a whole k20 engine. But just pipe dreams, but some of us need them.
