Auto F22 to 5spd H22

[SuperTuner12010]

Im planning on doing a 5spd conversion as soon as I get enough money to buy a full H22+LSD Tranny.

I know when going from a F22 5spd to a H22 5spd you have to tap the H22 tranny and relocate the mount...

But what must you do when going from an Auto f22 to a H22 5spd?
And I know they have the mounts for 5spd conversions but I get confused on if thats just for the F22 or not.

So what must I do to make it all work? Im ok with the tapping but the relocating the mount isn't something I want to do...

Thank you
Derek

Apparently you dont
Just read up, because its obvious you havent, otherwise this thread wouldnt exist.

Actualy I have...The Auto to Manual conversion witch is stickied at the top of the Saps forum...

Althoug I am misunderstanding because of all the talk about the Auto 2 Manual onversion and so on...

If you cant answer my question thats all you had to say...but seeing as how you have over 3,000 posts i am lead to believe you have some experience and you think im a noob and dont read.I read but I misunderstood with is the reason I wrote a new thread....

So can someone please answer my question?

Thank you

all the talk about auto to manual is what you need to be reading.

[texasvtak]

You have three options.
Prelude mount- no tapping the tranny required, but misaligns the motor by just a little, requiring a 3/8in shim on the driver side. Some people dont have problems, others (I) did..to the tune of 5 axles (cv joint kept popping).
Cut and weld- have to cut off the auto tranny bracket and weld in a manual bracket so you can use the stock Accord mount, but you have to drill and tap the Prelude trans.
ESP mount kit- best option, but a little expensive. No drilling or tapping required if using a Prelude trans, but an Accord trans would need to be drilled and tapped. AND you end up with solid (70a urethane, I believe) mounts in the sides and rear.

Someone sticky this or copy what I just said into one of the stickied threads so people can stop asking

Thank You....That should deffinately be stickied-very well put.

I guess this is were I was getting lost, I keep thinking that the manual and auto body mounts are in different places.SO I was thinking I might not have to move the mount or anything.

So I could buy the ESP kit and put it onto a Prelude H22 transmission(no taping) and it will boult right up?

[texasvtak]

Yes. And yes, the auto and manual trans mount brackets ARE in different places.

[SuperTuner12010]

Yes. And yes, the auto and manual trans mount brackets ARE in different places.

So ESP has different mounts for taking an Auto F22 tranny to a Prelude H22 Tranny?

[texasvtak]

Im not entirely sure. I think its specified in the ESP section here. At the very least, you can email and ask them.

ESP has 3 sets of mounts. But searching should have netted you that answer. Its been discussed in quite a bit of threads on this kit.
