Yes thank you so much I appreciate this as well my wife and I really needed some guidance on this 5-speed swap, and like you I assumed it would be a pretty straightforward swap but it's definitely intensive but I feel like it's doable long as we follow along with you
I swapped mine back in June of 2013. The hardest part for me was the trans mount, had to weld in x3 1/4 in steel plates then drilled the mounting holes, been driving it ever since.
I was wondering about this too, my 93 accord has been a little jerky with its auto transmission. I've heard they can last a long time even like that but if it ever goes out I think I'll follow in your steps here
Subscribed subscribed subscribed!! This is exactly what I was setting up to do for my CB9. Cleaning up and replacing seals on my H22 currently. Hope you’re available for questions - lots of questions, lol. Awesome job, brother!
One very important point to add to this excellent tutorial. I just did the manual swap in my cb7. Stayed with f22a1 engine. Motor mount on transmission side won't work. Lines up closer to radiator. You'll have to buy innovative motor conversion mount(120$) or relocated bracket.
@@dyingangeloyou found it right ? i just got mine a 93 accord and i’m scared it’s gonna get stolen since i don’t live in the best area and my sisters civic has been stolen like twice 🥲
Boa meu amigo, vou iniciar essa aventura na minha wagon 1993. Estou com seus videos salvos para fazer seguindo os seus paços. Tem alguma dica a mais para me ajudar? Tem alguma sequencia de videos para me organizar sobre esse swap de cambio?
hey Bud I just wanna congratulate you on your project it's coming out perfect. I like how detail you are with everything you are doing.. I have a 1991 Cb7 Lx Automatic and I also have a manual that I'm using for parts, I seen you do a weird connection when you grab a spare connector from an Auto cb7 and looped it and solder it together and plugged it into your car. I was wondering if you was willing to do the connection and I'm willing to pay you for the part your time and shipping. out here in New England we don't have any cb7 at the scrap yard.. if you can't I understand.
Hey thanks for posting this. I got tranny an such at salvage yard. Question do I need to swap back motor bracket or is it the same bracket used for AT. Atanta ga.

Hey bud question…how you wire up the revers light want to get mines working I saw. Video you did just can’t find it now..so on the pig tail the YELLOW AND GREEN/BLACK wires were I connect them to
I took the fuel gauge out of a manual transmission cluster and swapped into my original cluster. Its a direct swap and only takes a few minutes after the dash is taken apart.
I’m very new to the car scene and I have a cb7 and I was wondering is that all that it take to turn it into a Manuel without swapping a new transmission?
The rear vacuum line to the mount can be capped/looped and the solenoid for it can be disconnected and won’t cause any dash lights to pop up. I swapped my cb9 almost a year ago and it’s still running strong. No issues
i had a question about putting in an h22 on my cb7. so for the wiring can i just keep all the same h22 wiring and put the h22 ecu in my car so that i don’t have to do too much change to the wires itself and have an ecu that i can tune
I'm about to start doing the swap for my new wagon. It's a 94 (CE1) tho but I'm pretty sure the process is similar to the CB9. I'm only worried about mounting the clutch pedal as there's not a bracket up top 😅😅
@@randomrebuilds Thanks for the tip! For the case of the 94-97s, they sadly only have a cutout in the floor vinyl where it would be on a manual example. The master cylinder however has perforations to drill out with a hole maker. I might simulate the upper mounting bracket by putting a large bolt & spacers (there's an area under the wiper motor). I have everything for the swap otherwise
@@blacksongoku312 Oh wow that stinks. I guess the BB6 prelude is the same way from the conversion videos I've seen where holes have to be drilled on that car - that really stinks. I guess Honda used (2) different firewalls which cost them more $ for development rather than leaving (3) threaded studs into place.
@@randomrebuilds Ikr 😭 I'll check out the BB6 forums for more inspiration as well. Right! My Eg civic swaps were a breeze because of the pre-drilled mounts. I got lucky with my Cb7 but they would've been the same. I might make a vid on the CE1 whenever I tackle it lol

With auto (especially a 90s honda) you have to worry about slipping gears, bad solenoids, tcu going out or losing gears altogether lol Manuals mainly just the clutch/flywheel.

Finally someone post a manual conversion. Very good camera angles with great explanation, thanks just subscribed can't to see your whole project.👌😁
Thanks! Just trying to show everyone the process of the conversion plus my build on this CB9 project.

And it’s a wagon too!
Great job. Very helpful. I'm planning to convert my baby with the h22 manual. Thanks
my auto trans is still strong but its good to know the manual swap is possible if ever the auto trans gives out
Bad new folks. My accord was stolen about 3 weeks ago now. In the middle of afternoon right after i did my oil change. 😭

i have a wrecked 1995 accord, its stick shift, i’m thinking of getting a 1992 coupe accord and doing a manual swap on it
the auto is pretty nice since it shifts the gears for you
Really?

great stuff!

'02 Accord 5spd

@@saulpaz1834 Not sure if 02 Accord trans will fit on an F22. I used an H22 engine.

Would this be the "same" for a 91 accord DX sedan?
Hello, where can I get a vtec engine, for my Honda Accord 90
Question did you swap your cluster to a manual one thinking about swapping mines but looking if there is any modifications need to be done
I took the fuel gauge out of a manual transmission cluster and swapped into my original cluster. Its a direct swap and only takes a few minutes after the dash is taken apart.
I sure need a tan seat with an armrest
I’m very new to the car scene and I have a cb7 and I was wondering is that all that it take to turn it into a Manuel without swapping a new transmission?
This is part 1, you will need to watch the other parts of this build for all manual conversion aspects...
im planning on doing this to my cb7 and was wondering what do you do with the vacuum line on the rear mount
Haven't gotten to the engine bay aspects just yet but that mount will get replaced and the vacuum line will be looped.
The rear vacuum line to the mount can be capped/looped and the solenoid for it can be disconnected and won’t cause any dash lights to pop up. I swapped my cb9 almost a year ago and it’s still running strong. No issues
i had a question about putting in an h22 on my cb7. so for the wiring can i just keep all the same h22 wiring and put the h22 ecu in my car so that i don’t have to do too much change to the wires itself and have an ecu that i can tune
I posted a video on the wiring changes and ECU that’s needed.
I'm about to start doing the swap for my new wagon. It's a 94 (CE1) tho but I'm pretty sure the process is similar to the CB9.
I'm only worried about mounting the clutch pedal as there's not a bracket up top 😅😅
There should be mounting studs up there. Make sure you grab all the bolts and the pedal while at the yard.
@@randomrebuilds Thanks for the tip! For the case of the 94-97s, they sadly only have a cutout in the floor vinyl where it would be on a manual example. The master cylinder however has perforations to drill out with a hole maker.

Do it not need a clutch?
Do you need to take the ECU out for this conversion as well?
It’s not needed, but the TCU no longer needs to be used. I took mine out.

Thanks for your video man it's so informative. I'm waiting for it to stop raining so I can get back out of this car and finish what I have to do LOL

Is that manual better than automatic or what reason make you change it ?
I don't enjoy driving automatic - manual gives the driving experience a much more enjoyable one whether its a slow or fast car.
@@randomrebuilds tks for rep. In ur opinion , which one is more reliable? I wanna buy an accord 1993 but didn’t know which one will last longlife ?
