H22 Swap. Got Wrong Tranny! Help!

[rollinjoy]

I just purchased a H22a motor along with a tranny with the code P2A5. It was covered up til i scrubbed the paint away so i can see it. i think this is for the 5th Gen accords, maybe 94-95 dx or lx tranny. My question is, will this tranny fit? Do i have to drill and tap any holes like the prelude tranny? Or will it be better to just keep my accord tranny for now? I have a 93 accord EX coupe.(F22A6).

1994-1997 Honda Accord DX/LX manual F22B2

and you would have to check the drill and tap worksheet which i will provide

it says works for 5th gen trannys also but i have never done it. i got a manual h tranny but obviously didnt need tapped!

I don't know if it will fit. But I must say your pretty brave diving into a project like this with out really knowing what you have, and what it fits.
Good luck. Really.

all F/H series trannys are compatible with the exception of the S2000 motor and tranny.

Thanks for the link. I have it save to my favorites. You know, i thought i was getting a prelude tranny. i could not find the tranny code til i got home and did some cleaning. I figured it was a good deal, so i went ahead and got it.

[slammed4thgen]

how much did you pay for it?

[rollinjoy]

Eight including ECU and the P2A5 tranny.

Not a bad deal considering... The tranny isn't really any better than what you have, but it IS newer... might be worth a swap. I'd sell both transmissions and try to pick up an H22 trans with LSD.

I forget if the 5th gen transmissions require modification, but if it does, the only thing you'll need to do is tap one hole as with the H22 tranny. Tapping a hole isn't hard (there's a DIY in the swaps forum).

[rollinjoy]

Will the 97 and up tranny fit? Or do i need a 92-96 prelude tranny? What about the H23 tranny? I am in the process of searching right now.

i hear that 1990 thru 1997 trany are all the same if i was u i would just stick with the f series trany but make sure u get u a h22 trany in the mean time just to have . ps the f series trany has longer gear than the h series trany which mean u may hold a gear longer than ur average h series moter

exactly. it should work. and yes the longers gears really do suck balls

Yeah tapping was pretty simple. Me and my homie did the swap ourselves. Beats paying someone to do it. The experience speaks for itself. Sell both trannys like Deev said to get a M2B4 or M2A4 or you can go USDM

3rd gear is kinda grinding right now on my CB. 210,000 miles on it. I wonder how much longer she will hold up. Swap is gonna be in the spring, so i will be on the look out for a good tranny.
