I have a m2f4 that is going into my 92 prelude with 93 jdm h22a.

can i take the VSS off my m2a4 and put it on the m2f4. because now that i think about it. the m2a4 has the wire that runs off the sensor and plugs into the plug thats on the actual chasis. the m2f4 tranny just has the sensor with no wire, just a port to plug something into it. the wire runs off the chasis. unless the wire is a 2 way wire that unplugs on both ends.

but im looking at VSS on ebay and i just see the sensor with a wire running from with in it

I'm not certain but I think the only issues you would run into is if you were using a vss that had a steering assist function on it. If not, then it should fit fine, but obviously you'd want to place it and check it.

My friend told me that I can just swap out the vss and put my m2a4 vss in the m2f4

Acidcrakker

Just swap them out and see what happens. The prelude obd1 vss has 3 wires running off it. One is a ground, the other is power and the 3rd is the signal wire for the speedo that also lets your vtec engage over 20 mph.

Acidcrakker

That item in ebay that you are showing is just the top half of the vss.

Do I only swap out the top part of the vss? The black part

holmesnmanny

You can however you should be able to swap the entire thing over. Just take em both off and see if they are designed the same.

Acidcrakker

Im sure he doesnt want to buy one and find out it doesnt bolt on.

My issue with that ebay item is that it saus 90-93 preludes, accords.

Well Im pretty sure that honda didnt stop making the same vss for ludes in 93, they should be the same all the way to 96.

I found a different one to buy instead that gives a more accurate description

Where did you buy this? link? My tranny is from a 96 h22a1

thanks

Acidcrakker

I didnt buy it. I just said that my issue with that particular ebay item is the title. If I was going to buy a new vss sensor, it would not be that one.

Apex1972

I would buy it from Honda.

Or the junk yard ^ for a dollar

integra_101

id have to go to the junk yard to even see if they have it. I cant call and ask, its a u-pick junk yard. no inventory.

integra_101

i wouldnt need to buy a new sensor. I have a m2a4 and a m2f4.

the m2a4 is being junked and the m2f4 is going in.

holmesnmanny

Yeah, I'm not sure why that guy thought you were going to buy one. You were just using that as an example for illustration purposes.

integra_101

So if I just take off the black part of the VSS and swap them over, it will work?

Or do i have to take the whole thing off right down to the gear?

holmesnmanny

Take off the two 12mm bolts that hold the top part to the bottom part. Be careful there's a drive link thing in between that rotates the top part. Take the other one and sit it on top and see if it sits properly. I think it should.

You don't need to remove the entire assumbly, no.

ok thanks
