v6 engine
I don't know if anyone has done this, or if its possible, but i was wondering what it would entail to put a manual transmission in 2002 honda accord ex v6 coupe.
Id probably be better off buying a new car, but just wanted to see if anyone has done it.. thanks |

well a good amount of time, cussing, beer, and proper tools.
 but swapping isnt that hard. the holes for the tranny are precut. just drop the old one and put in the 5spd. might want to check and make sure the drive shafts and axles are the same. your bolts cant be that rusty see how they are new. if it were older i would say a bitch rusty bolts blow ass.

it isnt as easy as IAluder is making it sound, its obviously not impossible either. but i'd personally just sell my car and buy a manual version, its a whoole lot easier.

pretty sure it is possible. the hardest part would have to be adding another pedal and clutch assembly. plus all the lines you have to add. also, adding the shifter and stuff....other then that, it shouldnt be too hard i wouldnt think..
