Hello all.
Has anyone swapped to a manual on newer gen V6 cars?
Paddle shift is slow and I don't think it will be able to handle power i want to put down.
Thanks.

 

It is extremely difficult and expensive, so expensive it will be cheaper to sell your car and buy one built that way from the factory.

 

Thanks for reply but that can’t be true. Honda/Acura Built it with a manual. I can swap a completely different engine in for less than half of what I payed for it. It is knowing how to get connectors correct so computer can cope. Even if it means finding a manual computer it would be cheaper than new car. Plus the car is payed for. If you have done it then please share or if you can direct me to someone or a link to someone who has would be helpful. Saying it isn’t worth the work is opinion. Opinion didn’t stop someone from building a rear drive Del sol.😉

 

Sorry, it is definitely true.

I've tracked numerous attempts at a manual conversion for V6 cars since the beginning of the Gen 7 Accord and all but 1 has ended in failure. The thing is, the engine is different, the computers are very different, as are wiring harnesses and component programming, and by that I mean, right down to the power seat controls. I submit there is no way to do the conversion for less than selling your car, taking the proceeds of the sale, plus extra cash, and buying one which is built from the factory with a 6MT.

 

WOW Ok so from sifting through all these replies i see there are a lot of people who have tried and have so much to say about it. LOL
So far I'm very impressed with all i have learned here.
Well it will be a while before warranty runs out and may just swap complete powertrain depending where I'm at then.
Maybe i should have started with an easier question like turbos or vinyl wrap. hehehe.
