- The time has come! Welcome to the first of several parts of 5 speed manual swapping my 1998 Honda Accord. In this video, I'm just taking care of all of the little/easy stuff that I can before my friend gets here to help me with the rest. DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL. It is a general overview of what needs to be done. There are plenty of online forums and such which break it down in more detail. I suggest you go check those out after watching my video series.
Here are some links:

So happy i found this, best vid for auto to manual swap for 6th gens on yt, definitely keeping up with this build thank you so much💙🤝
Thanks for watching man, more to come!
6th gen accord fam, what up!!!
Ayy
yessirr
@Ryan Gehret
I am so in for this swap. Thanks for doing this series Ryan.
Hey, thanks for watching! More coming very soon.
The video series our car culture has been waiting for 🙌
Yes! Thank you for documenting this swap, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while!
Well?
The Carpet is Clean AF in the accord, holy shit man is that the original Carpet?
Yep. My mom kept this car spotless
i have a 99 coupe and wanna do this glad i found this
It's by no means a step by step guide but should give you good overview of what to do
@@accordinglyryan where's the video on how to remove th linkage kinda looking to get that stuff
@@99accordowner22 Again, this is not a step by step tutorial. You're gonna have to figure some shit out on your own
Ahhhh thee old craftsman!
how the hell did i not know this until i saw part 4 uploaded LOL. wish i had the mechanic skills you have ryan! btw i always awh at your dads neighborhood. looks gorgious with the tall trees
Haha, I learn as I go man. I wouldn't have been confident to do this without Jack's help. Yeah it's pretty nice up here
Brooooo this video just saved my accord I been looking for videos how to replace/remove the automatic shifting cables
Glad I could help lol
This is something I am dreaming of doing with my car, 1998 Accord LX auto
You can flash the EEPROM in the gauge cluster,but it's so frustrating and you need to desolder the EEPROM chip from the board and flash it via special software(If you have a arduino,then it's easier)
But replacing the aesthetics over to the other gauge cluster is a good choice too
Yeah it was the easier option lol
Soldering is nothing to me what software would i need
Thanks for your reply back. Just a little confused about the VSS to get the speedo to work. Can you send me the info were you got that from (to the pinout that have to be rerouted ) . I really would appreciate it
I didn't do the wiring, my friend did, and we didn't really save any notes on it, but essentially you need to cross reference the speed signal circuit in the service manual for both the auto and manual cars and recreate it. We reused a couple of wires we cut out of the AT harness as power and signal for the speed sensor and repinned a wire at the ECU (which we briefly covered in the video). That's all I can tell you unfortunately
I'm about to embark on my endeavour. Converting an auto ULEV VTEC to 5 sp VTEC. This helps for sure
I'm glad! Sorry it's not like a step by step tutorial lol, this was more to just document it
@@accordinglyryan the way I see it. Not many other people have the want to do this. The fact you did it and even documented it. Credit due where desereved
@@TheBiteSize This car means a lot to me as it was my mom's, who passed away 2 years ago. Thanks man I appreciate it
@@accordinglyryan much respect to you and your devotion.
How do I watch the 2nd video
Should be up late tonight
I have a 98 accord with the 2.3 jdm motor and it has a auto in it. can I swap it to manual ? And what trans should I get ?
My questions is can I put an automatic engine into a 5 speed car? Accord obviously
Yeah, the engines are the same at least 98-00
Quero fazer no meu mais parece que não há espaço para o atuador de embreagem
Hey mate I got a V6 Honda Accord 1998 V6L. Wanna know if I can swap a Manuel original 98
They never came V6 manual so a lot more custom shit is required
Want to do this for my 1999 ex seadan .
#1 Do I need to get the ecu from the same year. Or can i used the ecu from 98-2002.
#2 were did you get your wiring diagrams from
I would try to get it from the same year, the facelift models have slightly different engines. Service manual, can buy online
Would you recommend doing this if you’ve never worked on a car before or just stick to auto
If you've never worked on a car before I wouldn't attempt it. Not unless you have a knowledgable friend to do all the work lmao
De qual civic retirou as peças para o swap
did you have to chance ecm???
Yes, manual ECU is required
Was anything wrong with the green donor?
It had a CEL on for an O2 sensor, other than that just a whole lot of deferred maintenance. If you watch the other parts you'll see how fucked the clutch was lol. But it drove fine, and the transmission was perfect which was basically all I cared about.
I did actually make an entire separate video on that car before tearing it apart: czcams.com/video/3Qy8m2ddh8g/video.html
What did you do for engine harness?
Nothing lol didn't touch the engine
Wait, are you gonna drive a manual?
What do you think lol
Ryan Gehret I think it was definitely a better to put a manual transmission because the automatic transmission in these old Honda’s are NOT built well
@@omarzowila Yep
Is that trans compatible with the 3.0 ?
Nope. The only real option you have is a CL-S 6 speed swap which is way more involved than what I did lol
Bin wanting to swap my 6th gen for a while but it seems like to much work
It is a lot of work but totally worth it if you ask me. Did it in about 4 days
Yeah just finished watching all your videos on it thanks for all the great info ill have to give it a go
can i do this swap on a v6
Technically yes but it's much harder as they weren't sold that way originally
@@accordinglyryan do you know what problems i might run into
@@Thejackolantern69 There is more custom wiring, electronics and fabrication involved vs what I did
@ryangheret what transmission do you think would be usable for a v6 manual swap?
I want to watch this but this is absolutely nauseating to watch.
Good thing there's plenty of other content to choose from out there
@@accordinglyryan Good thing some of them can keep the camera still for more than a split second and/or spend $15 on a tripod.
@@michaelwhite4368 Honestly dude I was more focused on actually doing the work than making a video documenting it, on top of that you're the first person to say anything about it, so idk what to tell you other than find something else to watch if you don't like it.
@@accordinglyryan I'm not trying to be mean. Sorry if it came off that way. I'm doing the same swap right now and I was curious about some things. I really wanted to watch this series but the motion makes me physically ill. Have a nice day.
All you did was talk and point. You didn’t teach anything what a waste of a watch
It's a general overview, not a tutorial. There are plenty of other places you can find the necessary information to do the swap (which is exactly what I did). I wasn't going to spend several extra hours explaining everything on video when we were already on a time crunch to get it done. Sorry if that upsets you.
