My sister has a 92 accord exr just like mine except it's a 4 door and automatic. It's in really nice shape but she doesn't get the gas mileage I do, not even close. I get 750 Km's a tank and she gets 550 in that range. I have a 5 spd 2 door. I was wondering if I were to buy hers if one could pop a 5 spd in? Her car is mint and has lower miles. My girlfriend wants an accord too. Is this possible? thanks for any info, Mark

 

you can, but its going to cost you. If you get all your parts from ebay, your looking at about a grand for parts. Even then, I'm not sure how much I would trust an ebay transmission. I was looking to do this a few years ago, but decided not to due to lack of funding.

heres a great guide for the swap:
