I know some think I might be nuts and hate me for this,but I have been thinking of a manual to auto swap.I sit in Atlanta traffic every day and now my commute just got longer.This 5 speed is killing me.Does anyone know what it would take?

Tis a good way to rear end someone or look stupid in traffic. congrats man, you just won the dork award.............soccrstar said:hehe, I work on my launches during stop n go traffic
on a more serious note, dont launch in traffic......you can get a ticket, you cause excessive noise and probably tire screeching. You make all import owners look bad (why?) because every driver around you will then make a snap judgement and think to themselves that anyone driving an accord that is fixed up will do not so wise things (such as what you described)

Would take all parts from an auto tranny, wiring, ecu, tcu, and then some underhood work and a lot of redbull along with a huge bottle of aspirin since the auto tranny's on the 5th gen just suck.....shill1234 said:
not that 5000K rpm drop launching, launching as in getting the car moving without revving the car, I was able to do it with my subaru impreza 5spd. with right cordination the car can move without revving to 2000-2500rpm (novice MTX driver) before slowly letting the clutch go, preventing stalling.TSM_Pikachu said:

5 SPEED 2 AUTO??????????????
Huh, U could just take the train.Or, BUS IT
nah, j/k. Too much hastle man! it will take more money to swith from 5 -speed2auto, than auto 2 5-speed.(don't do it)to many sensors,too much maintenance, much more weight U use ur brakes alot more When ur auto tranny burns u will regret the 2k plus rebiuld(they are never the same after, anyway)....ahhh, :bash to many headaches just thinking 'bout it. I personally wouldn't do it, but hey, it's UR ride.
PS: torque converters are heavy :mad

You think thats weird......try driving the 04 Lincoln town car everyday like i do... lolbonestock94 said:
To start it i hit the parking brake (which is right where the dead pedal is for our cars) thinking it is the clutch...........it gets better.......i hit that thing driving too thinking i have to shift (but in Drive it wont lock up at all so thats good)
No,been about 15 years now,however here in atlanta it is a bitch to shift 150 times in 5 miles.One way to work is 23 miles and it takes roughly 1hour and 25 minutes to get here.That is alot of shifting,and its hard to perfect launching when you only move 3 feet at a time. :bash And to think that I sold my 97 lincoln MK8 for this to save on gas.bonestock94 said:

less hastle, less time, more money saved.

I hear you.I should of though about that from the begining, but needed a family car for my newborn baby.previous car375hp)472cu.in. 1968 Cadillac,coupe de ville)aka gas guzzler. I already have a few bolt-ons on it. i though about selling. but won't get what I would like. I do like that TSX, tho.(with an RSX type R head,intake manifold). I would still have the foor doors and Honda/Acura reliability....but not a bad idea. thanks
