h22 swap onto F22 engine

[KrookedBB]

I've been looking this up and can't find much from google.. I know you can do the f22 trans on h22 engine. The transmission I have now is grinding bad in 3rd, I've recently came accross a an h22 tranny for a good price but would rather not do a full swap right now because my motor still has plenty of life left. Just trying to figure out what's all involved in switching them its and obd1 h22 trans. Thank you :-)

i picked a 5 speed up for 300

Im picking up one for 400 with clutch and I'm getting a decent price on some gator axles

If you're not putting out a ton of power, and won't be anytime soon, those Gator axles are a waste of money. I hope they're Accord axles, and not Prelude axles.

Very true, aftermarket axles are NOT needed. OEM axles are VERY durable.
400 is a decent deal for an H22 tranny IF and only IF there are no grinds. And there is no way to tell until you run it hard. So if the seller looks shady, don't do it.
I bought an H22 tranny, put it in my car, then shifted into 5th at 7000rpm and GRIND lol

Be sure to use a good fluid, such as Honda's synthetic MTF, or GM Synchromesh (friction modified). Don't put motor oil in it, or any cheap MTF. The synchronizers in the H and F transmissions wear out, and after 15-20 years of use (and often abuse), most of them will show signs of wear. A good fluid will help avoid grinds due to existing wear, and slow down future wear. Nothing will fix damage that has already been done, and nothing will stop it from wearing out eventually... but a good fluid will give you the best chance of getting good use out of it before it needs a rebuild.
