So I'm looking to buy my first manual transmission. 1992 HONDA ACCORD EX. H22 engine with F22 manual transmission. I've never been in a 5 speed Honda everything seemed to shift smoothly but is vibration at first in reverse and drive normal? Please let me know before I buy it.

what rpm does it vibrate at?

750-2k the engine is very smooth but what scares me is the manual transmission. Its a red top H22 with a 240k mile F22 trans with a new pressure plate.

Are you talking about vibration when pulling away from a stop? If so that's clutch chatter, depending how bad it is, it can be anything from just annoying to an indication of a larger problem. Usually a warped flywheel.

I would look carefully to the worksmanship of the engine swap. H22 engine is great but see how well it was installed - were there wire splices, missing brackets, etc? Mysterious electrical or drivability problems? Bad worksmanship can really be a pain if it wasn't done well and it can be very hard to troubleshoot.
