What kind of cost am i looking at? Cons? Pros? Possible? I read in a thread somewhere that someone swapped in a 6 speed tranny in a 3.0 V6 accord.

 

yes, and parts only, you're looking roughly around 3.5-4k. With labor, add another 1.5-2k , so total, it would be approx 6k.

 

um...what are you swapping? tranny? engine?

 

Labor sure has gone up since mom had an engine swap on her 82 camry in 2000. Mechanic did it for $500 and that include the engine!!!!!

 

yeah labor is quite expensive, the going rate for a non dealership shop seems to be around $50/hour

dealerships are normally outrageous though.

 

he's swapping the tranny

 

How long does a dealership take on an engine swap? It only took around 8hrs for the swap on that camry.

 

it'll probably take about a whole day. When the dealership replaced my tranny, it took them that long and labor was 1.2k
But the labor rate would mostly change since you're installing a tranny different from manufacture equipped.

 

yeah dealerships dont really like doing things that they dont have a write up in the computer as to how to do it.

I called my local honda to see if they were interested in doing a h22 swap(just for kicks) and they told me they didnt know what a H22 was lol
