Need some advise. I am using the Accord M/T trans mount and bracket on the M2S4 Prelude M/T. Without the mount attached the clearance between the crank pulley and frame is normal but once I bolt up the trans mount, the engine shifts to the right and the crank pulley is pressed against the frame. I had this same setup when it was attached to the F22A1 engine and it to had clearance problems with the crank pulley. Should I dump the Accord mount and use a Prelude instead. Will this take care of this problem?

 

you should use the accord mount. you may have a totally different problem

 

I found out what the problem is. Even though the H22A is a drop in swap for the 4G/5G Accords, if your car is an automatic then you must change the mount bracket thats welded to the frame and replace it with P/N # 60831-SM4-300ZZ. So, if you want a hassle free swap its best to go with an Accord that has your choice of transmission!
