Well I have been lookin to do the 6 speed swap in my 6th gen as well. If your lookin for trannys try here www.car-part.com they have both American and Canadian autowreaking yards. Fyi the last quote I got to do the 6 spd swap was $4500 or $2500 to rebuild the auto that's in my Car!!

Should be a good baseline for estimating a 6spd rebuild. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Yah go big or go home. ..... Financially I'll be going home.  Posted via RS Mobile | |

You need the ECU for a 6 speed swap in Accords?
That surprises me, because an AT ECU works just fine in 7g Civics with 5 speed swaps.

a couple of months ago, i came to revscene to ask for suggestions on a 5 speed manual swap for my prelude.
people here recommended me to Evolution Auto Performance (which is also a revscene sponsor i believe).
Kevin, who works there, is extremely patient and nice. he had to deal with my very picky requests. he also sourced all the parts for me and consulted with me about if the mileage on the transmission etc is ok to my desires.
the total swap for my prelude was ~3500 bucks. this included switching gauge clusters etc (which are not necassary, but i wanted it anyway). obviously the price will differ for accords. just giving you a heads up ;]

Side topic, but maybe a better alternative. Is it possible to swap in a 2007+ 5speed auto onto the same block? I think both newer accords and TL's have revised their trannys, while keeping basically same engine.
This way you can keep the auto, and the resale value. and go from 4 speed auto to 5 speed. Probably need new ecu?
