Just what I needed to see! I couldn't figure out why there was such a gap between the top of the clutch pedal assy and the firewall. It's that bracket.. 🤨 if only it just came on the all chassis from factory

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.

Great info! Yes it felt pretty good to turn it into manual. The auto cars have no soul. Haha! Good job on yours!

@importmodify thanks! Do you happen to know if any of the 10 pins in the trans connector is a ground? Having trouble finding that exact diagram.

Man I wished I had the time to build and tune my lude. Unfortunately parting it out

We all must do what we have to. I sure could use the interior pieces that cover the obd port under the center console. Both sides if you have them.

@importmodify did you remove the old auto wire from harness and was wondering can i cut those and tape them up.

I just have them off to the side. Yes you can cut them if you like too. I will eventually do that to mine. Best to cut them put heat shrink on the ends and tape them up.
