Ok fellas. Ive been working my ass off on my CB7. I corrected almost all CEL faults car is running pretty good! I like it!! i have an auto trans in it now. Im kinda ready to stick it (get a 5spd). I see that an H22 with trans is gonna run at least 1500 or more. Should I wait, get cash together and do the complete swap, or do it gradually get the trans for the F22 and run from there??? Let me know what you think.

i'd imagine it would be a whole easier to do a 5spd swap with the engine out, so i'd second that on waiting till you do an engine swap also.

and i third it because if can skip getting an H auto tranny and just get the stick and save some stress in waiting.Originally posted by Leung View Post

H series tranny swap and build up the f22. Read the threads in this forum about the f22 buildups. 170whp f22 and H series trans = fun. Thats just with a oem head."Brought to you by Carls Jr."Comment

Im pretty new to the cb7 thing and this forum myself. I love how active these threads are. Some forums I post in take days to respond."Brought to you by Carls Jr."Comment

The 5 speed conversion will be much easier with the motor out of the car... meaning it'll be easy when doing the swap.
I HIGHLY recommend the ESP mounts when you do the swap. It's an extra cost, but they'll make life MUCH easier.

since that thread that Deev posted, the images don't work.
I've personally taken a picture of the set i've recently ordered of the auto to 5spd conversion mount kit.
a lot of people will recommend these if you could spare the extra money.Comment

These look pretty straight forward. Im really thinking about grabbing a 5spd this weekend. I would like to do this before it gets cold out side!! I will order some of these mounts if it prevents me from doing any drilling! So lets see: 5spd tranny, both axles for 5spd, clutch and brake pedals with all hardware, clutch master cylinder and clutch hoses with all hardware, and the shifter unit with all hardware. this seems like a fun project Im going to start getting parts for the swap this week. Im looking for an H22 tranny to hook up to a F22 engine.Comment

well those mounts take 2.5 weeks to get fab'd up and then shipped to you.
if you're on the east coast like me, ohio, that's how long it took me to get the packaged from Washington.Comment

Mounts
they are the best mounts, yeah a bit expensive but they are sure worth it, im saving up to get them, i have had to change the stock ones, and especially that rear one is a freaken HEADACHE you have to take the bracket off (that's with the h22 in there), if you want speed and performance get the h22 5 speed tranny with lsd if possible, and an upgraded clutch, and flywheel to help you get more power from crank to the wheels, or do it when you get the engine, i got my h22 because my f22 was acting up and i had enough money at the time to do it, i don't really care for speed, im much concerned with miles per gallon, so i kept the stock tranny
