When you say it's an H22 transmission you didn't specify whether it was an M2A4, M2B4 or M2F4. From what Losiracer2 found the Accord 5th gear needs to be machined down in order to fit on the M2B4 stack. However the non-LSD transmissions may not be effected by this. There have been a couple of threads over on Honda-Tech about this swap.

I think thats the main reason why its the gears that wont fit.

well thats the thing, im not sure on what one it is, the tag on the case is missing. im gunna try and find out what one it was.. i know for sure its h22 tho. unless theres another way. the only stamp left on it it the vin and it has bb6 in it..

look through the differential and that should tell you whether its LSD or not. If you see a pin its non LSD. If its clear all the way through, then its an LSD.

My tranny rebuild guy didn't have to machine anything, he simply ground one end of it down....he did it out of his garage in a couple of hours, which included replacing the mainshaft and countershaft bearings along with assembling the entire tranny from pieces, so I'm thinking its not something terribly difficult.

ok so i found out that the tranny was an lsd tranny... they took the lsd out for whatever reason and put another non lsd h22 final in it.

I'm pretty sure that the differentials are not cross compatible with the different cases. If it's not an LSD now then it's likely that it wasn't.

And please don't impatiently bump your thread less than an hour after you post something. Unless you're adding additional information then you're just being annoying. No one is sitting around and choosing not to help you unless they sense desperation.
