just doesnt look right?

tranny

valve cover


was i supposed to cut and weld the tranny mount like on the h series swap? i was a auto now im manual i didnt think i had to modify mount but it just doesnt look right and theres some clearance issues and it kinda sits and a angle from left to right like its farther back on the passenger side i hope i dont have to pull it again

o and how do you get the hose to fit the power steering pump

[rebels]

i'm not sure why it's not sitting properly, but as for the power steering you have to use the high pressure line part from the pump on the motor and braize it in with the accord line. if you can use the accord pump, then thats the best way to do it.

IMO, who needs power steering? i love not having it.. took a week to get used to but i absolutely love it without.

ya i was thinking about ditching the ps but my girl drives my car sometimes and i dont want to her her bitching about ps but i dont have the hp line from the f22b so mabe i can get the f22a4 pump on there any1 else no why my engine sits funny?

[chiaboi_AcCorD]

i think u do have to cut and reweld the passenger side mount

[chiaboi_AcCorD]

^^^^ 4GAccordH22 haded to cut and reweld his passenger side mount when he got his h22 5spd in and he converted it to manual when he did the swap.

[jdmkid]

thats a h22 thought you have to cut and reweld even if its 5sp allready but thats for the guess i think i know what the the problem is so well see tomorrow

[Backfire32]

yes you have to relocate the tranny mount. that will solve your problem. go to a yard and drill out a mannual tranny mount off a cb7 and cut ur old one off, then get the new one welded on to wher the mannual one should be on yours.

omg

[jdmkid]

why wouldnt they say anything about welding a mount for a auto to manual swap in the instructions

[phatdoughnut]

it doesnt matter if its f22a, h22a, h23a you still have to reweld the tranny mount if you are going from auto-5spd.

[Gen4Acclude]

that funny i never moved my tranny mount when i did my 5spd swap, my motor is sitting correctly has your car been in a wreck ie a side impact, measure the frame rails and see if you get the same measurments from someone elses car

[SoySauceCb7]

as far as i hear and read the f22b with a manual tranny doesnt require modification on the mount. BUT your engine is DEfinatly crooked

[4GAccordH22]

Like Chiaboi said, I had to relocate the tranny mount. AS far as I know, whenever you go from auto to manual you have to relocate it. Once the mount is moved the motor should sit right. I still don't have a lot of clearance, but it doesn't hit anything and I have to move a wire bundle to remove the valve cover... Best thing to do is drill out the spot welds on the mount, put the motor back in and bolt it to the 3 remaining mounts loosely, then place the tranny mount and tack weld it in. Take the motor back out and finish the weld, then put some primer on it so it doesn't rust. This is a good time to clean and maybe repaint the engine bay!

Good luck man!
