soo. yeah where do i start. the car has been shifting weird and lights are flashing when i hit the gas hard and the trany down shifts gears, this started about three weeks ago and keeps on happening i changed the fluid on the trany three times and only used OEM fluid and still nothing. i took the car to my mech and he couldn't find anything wrong but he noticed the trany shifting a lil hard.. my check engine light came on today for a few seconds but it went away, it also feels like something is holding the trany back from reving higher quicker it also back fires some times it almost feels like there is a lack of fuel maybe a clogged filter, valve  :sad:

That sucks.  I hope it's a quick and inexpensive fix.

Lex I'm not out to rain on your parade but, these are the exact same symptoms that I had, and we all know where I ended up. Get it to the dealer asap so if there is a tranny problem no additional damage is caused. Good luck!

That means he would have to do an AT to MT swap.  I'm sure it's a cost he's not willing to incur.

Thread discussing what you want to do...

http://www.gen7accord.net/forum/topics/ ... -six-speed

list of parts for a 5MT swap... I'm assuming all you would need to do is replace the accord tranny and flywheels with tsx tranny and rsx type s flywheel and rsx-s clutch...

I'm sure Skippy could give you more insight on this though..

It was msedacca that did the 5AT to 6MT swap. I believe Skip had a hand on that but I'm not sure.

with my luck on the way to the dealer today my car started over heating and the check engine light turned on 3 blocks from the dealer..so they go and inspect the car, 3 hours later they guy calls me up saying what they first found wrong with the car was that the rediator had a small crack causing the car to loose the fluid and over heat. He also said the idle control valve was defective making the check engine indicator to turn on.. they stoped checking the car because they though they found the source of the problem, the guy told me i would have to get that fixed before they can fully determine whats wrong with the car.. he was telling me it was $345 to replace the radiator + labor to just fix that problem. I get on the phone with my mech and he told me to buy a Radiator from one of the companies he buys from i got a after market one for $52 and did the install my self. now thats done and the car still has the weird flashing lights and it back fires still from time to time..

That sucks man.  BTW, if you are really serious about an AT to MT swap, Skippy has 2 5MT's sitting in his garage that are for sale.  You should talk to Mike Sedacca about the AT-MT swap since he has done it.  Skippy also has insight on this since he helped another person with the swap.

How much do those 5MT's cost? Wouldn't it be better to swap to a TSX 6MT? And don't you have to replace your cluster with the one that has the right gear lights? lol
