ENG: Drilling/tapping prelude transmission to fit an accord

[Night Wolf]

was TysCb7's car already M/T?

cuz I tryed this with my full H swap on my A/T CB frame. & the mount was way too forward

[cp[mike]]

Wait, so what do I have to do to put an H2U5 into a 98 prelude? Will it go in or do I have to drill holes? Are the holes already there, just not tapped or is the hole just blank metal?

IIRC h2u5 is from an f22a6 and should have the blank stud holes... double check, make sure theres 5 studs on top of the tranny, 3 tapped, 2 not. yes you would have to drill and tap the 2 extra holes.

this has been on my mind for awhile about this tapping thing
i have a 5spd
why do we have to tap the tranny?

do we do this to use our mount and bracket?
or why can't we just use the prelude mount and bracket
will it fit?

thanks

you tap the LUDE tranny so the ACCORD mount will fit.

[Night Wolf]

did you use the same tranny mount?

[heylookitsdylan]

Im assuming this is only for 5spds? my H23 Auto tranny boltes right in.

[defjamon22z]

they dont fix man. i got the ex tranny and the 5th gen manual tranny mount dont fix.. maybe cuz i gotta loosen the other motor mount and push the engine forward just alittle bit to make it fix? the only mount loosen is the driver, front that's it.

And i think someone mentioned at the top that its for 5th gen trannies also right?

yes...

im using a 5th gen exr coupe tranny (cad version)

[4CYLPOWER92]

Nice DIY. You really simplified the process. I thought it was way more difficult than that.

[i97supratti]

this is just for H trannies.

Assuming you need to do this to get a h23 tranny on your f22 also? Nice write up

[wed3k]

dammit! i could have used my 5th gen tranny instead i sold it for 50 bucks
because i thought it didnt fit.

[HF22T]

i personally wouldnt recommend using wd40 to tap with i would be more of a air tool oil or an actual tapping oil like tap magic or use maverl magic miracle oil but very nice write up
