OK! So here is the OFFICIAL MT swap thread! Thanks go to Jason(CCColtsIcehocky), Marcus at HeelToe Automotive, and MugenCL9. 


Below is a complete parts list. Prices are listed and will vary upon condition and availability. 
*See page 3 for Mugen's parts list as he posted it. I edited it for space and neatness reasons.*


I warn to whoever chooses to take on this swap that there are a couple parts that are no long made. I work on cars a lot so I wasn’t bother with some of the issues that I encounter but this is NOT an easy task that anyone can just do. All of the parts are pretty much bolts right up but it’s the clutch master cylinder that will give you a lot of issue since there isn’t much room to install and drill holes for. My motor was out and I couldn’t imagine doing this swap if the motor was in. 

Here is a comprehensive parts list (Supplied by MugenCL9):

Clutch

Flywheel

Half shaft bolt 90165-SE0-000 $2

AT and MT axles are the same

AT and MT radiator are different in a sense that the AT radiatorhas more lines coming out from it that goes through the ATtransmission so I pretty much just plug all the on that goes to the AT so I wouldn't have to buy a new one.

MT radiator 19010-RBB-E01 $240

MT gauges 78120-SEC-A11 $475

MugenCL9 NOTES:

I used an AT harness with the AT ECU so the clutch pedal sensor wasn’t required so pretty much I was required to press on theclutch pedal to start the car.

I could never imagine trying to replace AT harness with the MT harness since that means removing the WHOLE DASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pedal and the clutch cylinder is the most difficult part in the sway!!!! The clutch pedal assembly is NOT a direct bolt on and a fabricated bracket is required to bolt on the pedal. The big issue you will encounter is installing the CM cylinder.

Like most Hondas in the past the MT and AT fire wall were the same so it made it extremely simple to do a MT swap but for the TSX it isn’t!!!
