I have a 91 Honda Accord LX and was wanting to swap a H23 in it and keep my f22 tranny, what are the pros and cons of this swap. would it be worth it. And has anyone done this, just wanting to hear everyones perspective on this swap.

Officer

Please anyone that wants to let some knowledge go... Thanks

i heard the F tranny has longer gears....so if you hook it to a vtec H motor it will drop out of vtec during high rpm shifting.

for normal us its no big deal, but i know some people wouldn't want that.

Officer

Appreciate i was going to do that swap but i was afraid of losing the vtec but oh well.

he said he was throwing in a h23..... no vtec anyway so it doesnt matter.

oh yeah...my bad...so it doesn't matter

we were just having a conversation about this (F-tranny on h22) about a week ago so i just had h22 in my head.

Officer

thanks do you all think it will move itself around nicely or will it be a total slush box???

You could try comparing the gearing and final drives between the two transmissions. That might give you an idea of how different they would be.

i dont think it will be that noticeable. you'll get better mpg tho which is a plus. its not like you would loosing all kinds power anyway bc that motor doesnt have any to loose

man if you swaped the H23, its a Non-vtec motor so why would you worrie bout something like that, and besides the H- and F- trannys are swapable so it dosnt matter..

if your using a H23 then it don't matter too much.

now if your going h22, then i would rather have a h22 tranny, but still if your on a budget & can get a F tranny cheap then go fir it.

Officer

I already have everything but motor and ECU, My f22a1 is getting old and i thought i would just swap it for a Dual cam motor of my choice and the h23 is it. I didnt reallywant to swap everyhting.
