Not positive but the tranny could work (like fit onto the motor) but i think the mounting bracket may not line up in the engine bay without a little custom work.

Sure why not. Worst case scenario is a different trans mount thats bout it. I know b1 swap bolts into the accord jsut fine other than some mount modification on driver side. The trans will bolt onto the b1 as for the bracket lining up I am not to sure. MIght wanna give the trans bracket a look see to see if you can transfer over if that what it require.

thanks i will try to see what the difference is between the brackets. dont want to tear apart both the cars to see that it wont work. so if anyone else knows for sure and has done it let me know. thanks to everyone that replied.

check to see if your tranny backet lines up...there might be a chance that you cannot drill the tranny housing to accept your mount. This might be the case on f22a1 and f22a4 trannys from what ive heard

As i was told all 90-97 trannys are the same (manual) i think just the bracket(s) are the same. I mean the front mount and rear. Not for sure tho.

You may have to move the studs to get it to bolt in. I used a prelude bracket and moved two of the studs.

If i remember correctly, you will have to either move the studs or use the 5th gen mount.

or maybe both.lol
