@chrispotter2948Ай бұрын
Great videos, thanks for the walkthrough. I did this swap and put 10k on the car since. The center console is not manual specific, you just need the boot and knob from a prelude/accord. Also the cv axles are the same but yes the halfshaft is specific. I also used the auto rear trans bracket and the auto lower trans plate as my MT didn't have one. I tricked my ecu successfully, but instead of running wires through the firewall I just soldered the correct wires together under the hood on the trans 10pin to lose the neutral safety switch and fool cruise control. On the clutch pedal I ended up welding up a brace out of 12ga steel so I could get that third upper pedal suppoet bolt. Otherwise the pedal torqued too much. I didn't want to try to replicate the anchor up under the dash... hard to explain but imagine if you cut a shoebox open diagonally so you have like 2 triangles on the sides giving you the bracing.that's the shape, I mocked it up out of cardboard first with just the pedal on my workbench. Bolt this brace between the pedal and firewall with the 2 bolts to the master and then 1 bolt from pedal to brace in the upper position. Works great, very solid. I got my prelude for $850 with bad auto trans... feels great to bring one back to life, they are fun.

You don't need the manual ecu just have to relocate the resistor in the auto ecu. If you plan to use the manual ecu you need the key for that ecu and you will need the key tumbler so that key will work in the ignition switch. Easier to just alter the auto ecu.
