so.. you've got no 5th gear and you want to repair your tranny yourself?

according to that, 5th gear shares the same fork as reverse. hows your reverse? without more info, it could be that fork is bad, it could be 5th gear is dead or it could be something simple as your cables kinking up.

i think you need to tap two spots for the studs to bolt up to your mount.

theres a thread about tapping the prelude tranny to fit an accord.

i've done all that now im at the point of installing it . i can get it in but it wont slide up to the motor . dos any one have an idea of why it wont mount up

Make sure the splines are lined up on the engine/transmission. Also make sure you line up the dowl(sp) pins.

is that all i have to do for the trans to fit

Do you have the trans out of the car already?

You will honestly save yourself a lot of time and money to just get a rebuilt tranny.... I have tried fixing manuals and automatics with horrible luck. And the damn parts that are worn that you need replaced will cost MORE than the rebuilt tranny or you have to make them yourself on a machine. If you know what you are doing you might be able to pop it open and see what is wrong and fix it.. but if not just get one with a warranty and pray it lasts half as long as your blown tranny now.

i do know for sure that the spline count on the input shaft changes when you move from a f22 5 sp to a h23 5 sp. maybe the h22 uses the different spline count too. you could just use the h22 clutch assuming the flywheel has the same step if any and the same pressure plate bolt and dowel pattern. you would have to look at the total height of the clutch ass. after installed to make sure the throwout bearing is going to contact at the same point as well. i just ran into this situation with a customer and we rebuilt the unit out of the car to aviod the headache

He's asking how to get the H transmission on. Not how to rebuild.

[wed3k]

it may be easier to have a cherry picker hold it from the top then the transmission jack from the bottom. ive always done it from the bottom but i want to say it may be easier if the transmission is propelled instead of propped.

sorry I misread your post... I thought you were going to tear out that H series trans and try to fix it.

[deevergote]

It did seem that way from the first post (not that it made all that much sense in the first place...) it was clearer later on.
