Swap Question:

[tommi]

i am going from a auto f22aX to manual h22a need help on which throttle cable and shiftlinkage to get. since i know the auto throttle cable is shorter but i need to know which to use manual lude or manual accord shift linkage and throttle cable..

[Ilikebigbutts]

Not sure how short the throttle cable on an h22 swap woul come to, but here is a pic of how we modified the throtle cable bracket on my f22b dohc swap, because it was two tight and was holding the TB open.We just drilled two holes and moved it to the left.

I went from F22A1 auto to H22A1 manual and I'm using the stock Accord throttle cable, Accord shifter and shifter cables. Everything works perfectly.

ok thanks alot imma go find some accord 5spd linkages.
as for the accord throttle cable i thought the auto was shorter than 5spd one :my swap guy said that care to clr this up?:

[Ilikebigbutts]

Um i dont see how....Throttle cable has nothing to do with your transmission.

90-97 accord and 92-96 lude shift linkage/shifter are all interchangeable. and keep your stock throttle cable, auto and manual will both reach.

ILBB - i dont remember when, but on one car i was swapping the throttle cable was too short like you experienced - i just ran both 12mm nuts up to the top of the threaded section of the cable and it seemed to put it at the perfect position.

[tommi]

yea motor/tranny i got. thanks again mike for responding to my thread pages.

[tommi]

oh and another thing popped into my head, how do you fill the manual tranny? there a special way or..
also i wanna retain my cruise control from auto to manual what do i need to do? and the other clip on the clutch pedal is for (clutch has to be pressed to start) how do i get that to work????

anyone??

Like Mike said, when I did my swap I used the shifter cables that came with the H22 (I got mine from HMO), then I used the ORIGINAL shifter cable. That was what made it work (mine was an EX). However, when I swaped into the LX that I currently have, the LX throttle cable was too short and I used the EX throttle cable and it worked fine.

Good luck.

To retain the cruise control you need the cruise control module (CCM) from a manual cb7 and the top clutch switch (the one that is pushed in with the clutch UP). Take the pink wire on the CCM and wire it to the clutch switch, then take the black wire from the CCM and wire it to the other side of the clutch switch. This is what turns off the cruise when you press the clutch.

As for the "press clutch to start" switch, I'm not sure how to wire that one yet. I have the switch, ready to be put in, but I'm not even sure if I want it

i swapped from a f22a to a h22a left out the cruise control...balancer belt and A/C....to obtain as much extra HP as possible....used the accord existing wiring harness that i modified for the extra Vtec wires, also used the accord P/S bracket/pump...i love the new h22a what a freakin big difference

Yo speed your wing brings back memories so do your altezzas and window tint. Never had a body kit though and probably never will i was mostly into stock nice paint job too

I used my LX throttle cable, and had no problems with it...Thats weird... I don't see how auto or manual would make a difference unless the intake manifolds are different and the throttle cables mount up to them in different places.
