Hey guys, long time no see. Quick question, i currently have a M2B4 Transmission. I am having a horrible time on the highway 70mph with this transmission is about 4k rpm, WAY to high for me. Is there anyways i can swap out the 5th gear with a longer/taller gear ?

Ive done it myself having never opened a transmission before, only going by that thread and the Prelude HELMS manual.
Its not all that daunting once you get into it, the HELMS manual really holds your hand and shows you what to do.
Preparation of your work area, patience and common sense is the key.

Once you get in there it becomes surprisingly straight forward. Like anything else, just keep organised to minimize any mistakes.
I've read your MRT. So if I can do it, you should have no problems.

I had an LX/DX 5th gear from an accord put in my M2B4, Guy charged me 150 for labor to rebuild it and shim the 5th gear to fit. im not sure what he did exactly but it was done in a week's time. He also did the mainshaft and countershaft bearings at the same time. My total cost was I think 400 for everything including the 220 i spent at the dealer on the 5th gear syncro sleeve set and 2 bearings.
I had a popping out 5th gear so my prelude 5th was messed up anyways and had to be replaced.
I got my accord gear off Wed3k for a good deal. i think he works in a tranny shop or did at the time back in 2012.
one thing to note though...if you do a lot of high RPM shifting from 4th to 5th, it'll wear out the 5th syncro pretty quickly as I already have some grinding at high RPMs going into 5th in the span of 20k miles and 2 yrs. So you'll want to not do 7.5k shifts into 5th, unlike me. hahah.
Also, you'll be out of VTEC when shifting into 5th at like 120mph, and its pretty hard to gain momentum in 5th gear out of VTEC so your top speed will suffer, but you shouldn't be going that fast anyways.

Thanks for the quick reply guys, the gears in my transmission are too short. At 65-70mph in 5th gear I am around 4k rpm. Way to high. I will attempt to swap the 5th gears. If I can get a part number ill buy the gear ASAP and try it.
I hope these gears aren't expensive.Last edited by tutsuo; 06-14-2015, 11:44 AM.Jesus drove a Honda, he just didnt talk about it like us. Proof - John 12:49 "For i did not speak of my own accord."

Ok so iv found some part numbers that should be a direct swap with my transmission.... All parts have been discontinued
EDIT:: I FOUND HOPE ! http://www.hondapartssales.com/lisle...1=&inputstate=
I guess now, is there a way to find out if the parts are compatible ?
I am currently look at
F22 92-93 Accord (0.685) h2u5
23461-PX5-A41 COUNTERSHAFT FIFTH
23581-PX5-A41 MAINSHAFT FIFTH
I have read on other forum that its been done and works, however, you have to make sure you follow specs to the "T" !Last edited by tutsuo; 06-15-2015, 11:10 PM.Jesus drove a Honda, he just didnt talk about it like us. Proof - John 12:49 "For i did not speak of my own accord."
