You need to talk to my 2nd son. He did just this. He bought a second car. An old one. And swapped out the transmission. My first son informs me you need the following: transmission, cables, pedal set, shifter, and most importantly the computer from the a car with a manual transmission, preferably from the same or a compatible year of the same model.
My 2nd son did it too his own car, a '86(?) Honda Civic, for the cost of a junk car ($400) plus a few odds and ends. Total about $500.
My 1st son did it to a '94 Mustang for $2000 for the transmission, $700 for additional parts, and $700 in work by Amco Transmissions. Total about $3400.
Obviously, cost can vary widely. The Honda was swapped out for "pleasure." The Mustang was swapped out because racing killed the automatic.
Good Luck.

Changing to an automatic would be a major undertaking in a newer model car. Not only would you have to change the transmission you would probably also have to modify the wiring harness or even change the computer. In an old car it would be easier but still probably more trouble than finding another car with an automatic transmission.

It is possible, but will require extensive work that would cost more than the value of this vehicle. My sugestion would be that if you like this particular model and year, purchase one with an automatic transmission...

Yes it's possible, but for the expense you'd probably be better off trading in your Accord for one with a 5 sp tranny.

Yes you can convert a manual tranny to an auto. But I'm not sure about the price.

it's possible but costs alot. it's cheaper swapping for a manual from a junked or selling your automatic and buying a manual.

It can be done by changing the complete trans axle unit and the ECM. How much will it cost, you say? More than the car is worth.
