our time has come: ESPnet weld-free 5spd conversion!

[Dom]

Ok I have read this read when it was first posted and again now, so let me repeat this in my own words to see if I understand.
I have a H22 auto swap, so If I wanted to convert to manual AND use the ESP mounts, then I have to:
1. Use a H22 manual trans.
or
2. Use a manual trans from a 5gen Accord or Prelude
or
3. Use the H23 manual trans.

that looks right to me.
if you just went back, read what was posted, you would have corrected yourself.

So i guess a front mount is not needed with this kit?

mike how does the car run? does it vibrate, because the shaking of the motor has transfered to the body? and how better are the lauches and shifts?

comes with the traction bar kit. you dont really need a front doggy bone mount, because the rear engine mount is pulling the motor back.

wow.

Traction bars are completely separate from these mounts.

I wish they made these so I wouldnt have to drill and tap my prelude tranny

I gotta 90 EX 5 speed.

You dont.

[bacal36]

You dont.

Are you serious? I have an H22 waiting to go in, and in most of the guides I've seen you have to drill and tap the prelude tranny so it will fit.

But if this kit eliminates that then I will purchase asap!

I think what they mean is if your car is already a 5spd then no special mounts are needed. However, if your car was an automatic like mine and I wanted to convert to a 5spd(which I am pondering over now) then you would need the ESP kit. Someone correct me if incorrect.

this ESP 'conversion' mount is for people with an automatic chassis wanting to install a 5spd tranny. any 5th gen accord or prelude transmission will work straight bolt-in with this ESP mount. some cb7 trannies need to be drilled/tapped to work, and some cb7 ones dont have matching holes whatsoever... but still, it gives you a lot of choices, it avoids any cutting and welding, plus its a solid urethane mount, and comes offered with the two other matching ones for an affordable price

if your car was originally 5spd, you can use a regular stock cb7 tranny mount. direct bolt-in with a cb7 transmission, obviously. prelude and newer accord trannies used a different mount stud arrangement, but they all have the provisions to drill/tap/bolt a cb7 mount to.




to an above post, im not currently running the ESP mounts, as my engine bay isnt automatic. i installed this mount on a friends car, and hes still running it without problems. maybe he will chime in with his impression of it, but i was impressed with its build.

It does. I know. I have it.

ok, so I am doing an auto to manual tranny swap and don't have enough time to get the ESP mounts. Besides that the tranny is a H2A5 so the mount wont fit anyways. So we will have to do a hack 'n weld for the tranny to mount up correctly.

Later on like in a couple of months we are gonna do a H22 swap with a 5 speed of course. The ESP kit I would use is just the normal one that you would install a 5 speed H22 into a 5 speed car right?

Just wanted to make sure.

Which kit did you get? If you dont mind me asking?

[texasvtak]

The h22 5spd conversion mount kit.
