Hi, Blackhawk.

Doesn't the SE 5-speed for the Gen 3 have different gears in 'em? And what are they; y'know? If one's goin' for the better (stock) 5-speed, the SE might be da best!

Thanks!

What's a ballpark price on parts for doing a swap on an I4? Also labor.

Not that I'm having trouble with my automatic (knock on wood). This swap is pretty common on the sixth generation of Honda Accords ('98 through '02) since their automatic's were garbage, I believe the price on that swap was around $1,500 to $2,000, labor included. Besides my Camry I have a '99 Accord, manual tranny.

Yeah
it would be nice to have the cost for each part(s).

Although it would be more pricey in Toronto.

Anyone know who can do the labour in Toronto?

^ parts cost A LOT more Toronto than down in the states....trust me on that one

and how much are you willing to spend on doing the swap, labor-wise?

Ok, I just spoke with Brandon Groberg at HorsePowerFreaks and ordered a Fidanza Flywheel for the 5sfe and a Stage 3+ Spec Clutch Kit. Reason that I ordered the clutch for a 5sfe is that Brandon called a Spec technician to verify that the combo originally posted on page 1 will work and the Spec technician said there would be clearance issues when using a 1mzfe clutch disc. So I had to get a custom 5sfe Clutch disc with a 1mzfe spline with no additional charge.
