longer gears or shorter gears

[tonystyle27]

ok whats up maybe this has been answered but i have a question about trannys im sold on doing a h22a motor swap in my accord but i heard that the f22a tranny has longer gears and thats good for a turbo setup rite. At the same time i heard the h22a is not a good motor to turbo. Also the f22a tranny is not a good launching tranny but the longer gears will catch up with my opponent. On the other hand the h22a tranny has shorter gears and launches better. So me this is my first standard will the longer gears help me better than shorter gears. Also i will save a bundle just by keeping my f22a tranny. one more thing my tranny has 250,000 miles on it i know when it comes time for the swap i will have a clutch and a flywheel. so will it be idea to swap the tranny to r do tranny last forever and only the clutch componets go out thanks for any help.

I tried hard to understand what you typed, but from what I got, is that you're wondering what would be better; the f22 tranny or the h22 tranny? If you have the money to swap the h22 tranny is better for racing and from other people's experience it's a better tranny for a turboed set-up, especially if it's an lsd tranny. On the other hand, if you have the f22 tranny and don't have money to get an h22 tranny then you can use the f22 tranny. I believe it is better for fuel economy especially on the highway.
Either way if you swap an h22 tranny you will probably want to replace the clutch anyway, just like you would want to with your f22 tranny that has 250 miles on it. So if you have the money and you are interested in racing an dmaybe turboing your car the h22 tranny is the way to go.

If i were u i would get the m2s4 tranny its sweet and shorter gears than the h22 tranny trust me that h23 tranny kills when i race h22s with the h22 tranny i stay at 6700 everytime i shift car pulls so hard but for fuel i would use the f22a tranny but remeber u will bounce out of vtec going into second gear cause of long gear after that u are good to go

Just so you now, tranny dont last forever. My died 2 days ago with 223K on it. F22 tranny.

I plan on the h22 engine, f22 tranny set up. Maby not quite as quick, but less engine were, and better MPG sounds good to me.

[tonystyle27]

yeah im thinking about dumping the tranny way to many miles on it. so im still liking the idea of the f22 tranny its a guy down here with the same setup and he said it does what it needs to do. so where can i find a f22 tranny i only see motor but no trannys

Go to a near-by shop that does swaps. People often give away D series and F series stuff for CHEAP.

Regarding a turbo'd motor, if traction issues are present, longer gears will help, otherwise, shorter gearing will help alot either n/a or f/i.

depends on what you use the car for

Im im the mittle of putting in an h23 tranny onto my f22.


So let me get this straight, The h23 has shorter gears than the h22? Did i read that right?

I thought it was f22 longest, h23 middle, and h22 shortest.

I thought it was f22 longest, h23 middle, and h22 shortest.

That would be correct.

OK, i got a little worried for a second!

Id like the shorter gears of an h22 tranny, but i dont think my f22 would like it that much considering i put about 125 highway miles on my car every week.
