I would do a manual swap just because automatics slow cars down so much. of course with the cost of swapping a tranny as well it would probably be cheaper to sell your car and buy a MT one

your transmission will work

there are quite a few other guides:

http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/te...2_engine_swap/

and others i am forgetting right now

 

cool, but im assuming I will need a prelude TCU because of the different shift points due to the different power spectrum/redline?

 

In regards to your insurance question: DO NOT tell them about the swap if you do it. They probably wouldn't know how to handle it and they may drop your coverage.

Personally, I would not do an H22 swap without a manual trans. Waste of time & money IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if my 5spd 4cyl LX was still faster than your auto even if you swapped an H22 in it.

 

I second that motion...................MT FTW

 

you seriously think I shouldnt do it since I have an AT?
Idk, Im still leaning toward doing it.

regardless of how much hp my tranny robs, its still bout 70 more than I had before.
I dont plan on beating anyone in a race, I just want to have a little more fun in my car.
Maybe later on ill do a AT to manual swap. or put the old engine in and sell my car, buy a manual and put the H22 in.

 

97-01 auto trannies are the worst. do not get one. they break easily and often.

 

dont worry I have a 96. Those are pretty stable.
I would most likely install a tranny cooler anyway tho.

EDIT: So would i need / can i use a prelude TCU on my accord Transmission? I would think so because of the modified power range and redline.
