I want to swap my F23A for something else but cant decide if I want to go with an H22A or B18 and Im not sure how to swap an auto trans to manual Is there anyone who has done this kind of swap that can give me some tips

 

if your are swapping into a accord the b18 is out of the question.

So your option is either h22 or f20b

The 5speed swap is not all that hard. Iv done them few times. It will cost you around $800-1000 for the swap and that is including the trans. But if you are buying a whole swap that will come with a trans (like a h22 full swap) then the cost of the 5speed swap with much lower. Prob. cost you around $300ish for all the parts. But that's the prices if you are doing the work yourself. If you have a shop do it your looking at prob.$800 alone in labor maybe even more.

If you do go ahead and do the 5speed swap. I have a clutch line short cut I will share with you. So you don't have to use all the OEM hard lines that attach to your firewall.

 

thanks. Im doing it all myself . Why wouldn't i want to use the OEM hard lines. That would be the best way wouldn't it

 

no I have a short cut that you use a SS brake line straight from the master cyl to the slave cyl. So you don't have to go through all the trouble of bolting up the hard lines. But this short cut eliminates the clutch dampener...which is not really needed. The short cut I use runs you about $80 from submitracing.com

So there will be no need for any type of clutch line patching so use different fitters to connect to the master and slave cyl. It's a very nice and easy short cut that save allot of headache and time.
