that is verrrrrry true....took me like 45min to get that sucker out!

 

i came to conclusions.... imma * try * to use the car with the way i set it up already.... if i come across problems with how i shift then imma go ahead and buy the stupid pedal lol..... how does that sound ?

 

best part of 5spd swap on ej1 coupes......


tranny mount. not on the tranny but on the car its self. it needs to be cut off, moved over like an inch, and welded back in. unless they have some kinda conversion tranny mount? not positive. hurry up

 

lol you just effed up my day .... u kno that.... cuz that is not wat i wanted to effin do ... arrg!@!@#@$!$ phuk hondas...

 

Just buy the mount for the swap. I think I got mine from www.jdmshit.com or something. Makes life 100 times easier. Also to get the key out, just unplug a blue box relay looking thing underneath the dash on the driver side. It might be on the kick panel. It is just somewhere under the dash and it is blue. Unplug that and that will let you remove the key.

As far as the pedal. Just get the manual pedal you will thank yourself later when you go for the clutch pedal and push both in and the car behind you runs into you.

I couldn't find the mount on that website I posted. Best bet is to call them. It makes the install a lot cleaner.


So here it is. The mount you need.

And I rode in the car with that conversion ^ lol :P

 

only reason i suggest moving over the mount location its self is for future ----. putting any 5spd motor in will be cake... future swap possibilities will be posibble... h swap, k swap, b swap, back to d swap. it would be like having a proper 5spd chassis instead of a mount for a motor to fit.

 

Nice thread. This will help me out quite a bit later this year... I'm just gonna boost my auto and run it till it dies. Hoping it will last till late fall since I store the car over the winter I plan on doing the swap then.

 

noice game plan . .. i thought about that but i decided ..... i want to be the one changing the gears not the car... + i wanted a bit more experience... lol .... think bout it.. later on you will regret you never got to touch yer princess.....

 

Yea I would really like to do the swap now but after buying all my turbo parts im kinda broke... lol :P
