So far it's cost close to 700 bucks for me and i still need a few key components.

if i were you i'd weigh it out to see if it's truly worth it before you do it.

I just finished mine. It cost me about $900-$1000. I used a lot of new parts though. It is worth it.

300 for me. I bought my friends car with a blown motor and a exedy clutch. Find another manuel cb7 with a blown motor and take the parts from it and use it to do your swap.

well i bought a 90 accord ex with a a6 manual tranny that had blown engine too but i dont how much there charge me to do a manual swap but showed be like 350-400 bucks man just find a donor car

If you buy the ESP conversion mounts they'll set you back about $284, but they'll save you a lot of pain while dropping the tranny in. Unfortunately I never got to put mine to use.

depends on what u get as far as pricing goes i maybe paid like 300 all together the esp mount is the shit i think just for the mount it was like 175 shipped

you got just the trans mount?

should of been 110 or so... but to the op, get the whole kit.

easier to replace all of it and not have to worry about the other mounts tearing a week to a year down the road.

it will be well worth it in the end.

woot! cant wait to this...but im thinking of just doing a h22 auto but idk yet i have to save some funds to get em'....damn it i hate not having a job

[Leung]

yeah it was the ESP full kit that push the price so high for me, i figured, do it right the first time that's why i got them.

ESP kit 300
tranny 200
clutch 200
parts 250
misc 200

of course somehow landing on the parts for cheap (or free, from a friends car) definitely helps offset the cost. but most ppl dont have access to those things easily. i always say to estimate over 1200 or so... theres a lot of things that will come up that youll have to spend money on, that you dont expect. at least if youre doing things "right" and not taking shortcuts.

Well around $330 for me. Got lucky at our Pick N Pull Junkyards. They are my best friends

Trans pulled myself $80
Clutch $140
Weld M/T Bracket $70
ECU, master cyl, clutch pedals, shifter plate and cables dampiner, slave cyl, ETC... all pulled myself $40

Doing all the work yourself:

PRICELESS!!!!!
