You can do it,But will cost you more than the car is worth in most cases.

My advice is if you want a manual accord..you should get one that came manual from the factory,you will be solely dependent on the person,or mechanic who does the swap..

I have always thought that auto to manual swaps are not worth it. Especially if you are paying a shop to do it for you, because there is a ton of labor involved.

You dont know how much i want to manual swap,but sadly i know even if me and my dad do it,it wont be worth it in the long and short run. But mark my words,my next vehicle,will be a 6 speed.
