I'm currently Runing my factory f22 tranny on my jdm h22 swap. At first it was great, long gears and ran the 8th of a mile in 2 gears. but it fails to go into gear at 8 thousand rpm. I would have to wait till it drops to 6.8 - 7. Now its grinding 3rd. So I just picked up a h22a tranny from a friend. I have yet to put it in. Want to do a little more research to see which tranny would be best. Any ideas???

Any H22 transmission will be geared properly for the H22's powerband. The USDM transmission has slightly shorter gearing, I believe (though I don't have the numbers handy)
The JDM M2B4 transmission is one of the most sought after, since it has factory LSD.
The only transmission you can't use is an ATTS unit from a 5th gen (SH, I believe... or a JDM Type S.)

That's the one I want, the jdm one with LSD . I've also heard that the usdm h22 tranny has shorter gears. I'm going to be looking for the jdm tranny, but until then I'm ordering a clutch kit and puting in the usdm h22 tranny before mine gos out. ThanksOriginally posted by deevergote View PostComment

What clutch do you intend to use? Keep in mind that you don't need anything crazy... a 'stage 3' clutch won't give any more performance than a 'stage 1' for a near-stock H22, and a cheap clutch will just suck ass.
My advice is to get an Exedy or Daikin clutch, OEM replacement or "stage 1", and use an authentic Honda throwout bearing (my car has been down for quite some time due to a seized throwout bearing from a cheapie "stage 3" clutch... so everything I say here comes from direct personal experience!

Exedy clutch kit comes with OE quality Koyo throwout bearing, no need to buy a Honda bearing if you get one of those kits.Comment

I was leaning towards Exedy stage 2. My throwout bearing sounds nasty on my car now. Got me worried it might seize up on me. I'm going to have look into getting a Honda throwout bearing, thanks for the advise.Comment

Sounds like you have either a bad transmission or shift linkage. I shift at 8000 rpm every time just fine. You might want to look into that. If you ever come to Jacksonville I will show you in person.Originally posted by cb7h22sleeper View Post'94 JDM H22A: 178whp 146wtq

Unless you're going to be making a good deal more power than stock, the Exedy Stage 2 will be pointless. All it will do is wear the friction surfaces faster.
Also... why are you shifting at 8k? The H22 doesn't make power up there unless you have the mods to support it!

I personally would get a JDM h22 it has slightly shorter gearing than the usdm h22. I know this for a act when I went to gearspeed. When they tried to assemble it it has slightly shorter gearing on it the synchros where the smae through and the transmission wouldnt close shut lol.Comment

Mike I think hes still reading off of the stock tach lol When you read off the stock tach its inaccurate until you add an aftermarket one youll see the redline unless you got a chipped ecu that goes over the rev-limiter would hit over or up to 8k.Originally posted by deevergote View PostComment

Either way, the H22's powerband stops around 7400, I believe. Without a cam upgrade, I don't think it'll make any power up to 8k.

best bet would be a EURO R trans. T2W4. its like 200-300$ more than the m2b4 but its the best one!!

U are referring to a stage one h clutch right and not an f, cause a stock f series will only take one launch then it slips like a greased up deaf guy lolOriginally posted by deevergote View PostWhat clutch do you intend to use?
