Some say that they bolt right up, and it seems true (pics are available online) but there are two problems: (1) the seventh gen has a cable shifter and the fift and sixth had a shift rod and (2) the seventh gen has an immobilizer for which you would need a workaround. Kinda ups the difficulty significantly. I have not seen anyone claim or show that the gears can be swapped. If the FD could be swapped between them, I guess the other issues with shifters and immobilizer would be moot.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
