I have a 95 accord lx, I'm doing a 5spd conversion along w/ an h22 swap. I have an h2u5 tranny, its out of a 4th gen accord ex. Now that studs on the tranny housing are in a different spot than my tranny mount, any suggestions to making it work so I can put this motor in? The studs are where the yellow circles are in the below picture, the middle one is fine, but my mount requires them to be in the spot they located in the picture, any help guys?

 

Your mounting a 4th gen accord tranny with an H22A?? You know VTEC wont engage right right?

 

Yeah that's all I could get my hand on until I replenish my funds......it'll work for a few months so I'm not that worried

 

Why won't VTEC engage? VSS differences or what? I don't see why this would be true. Lots of people have gone H22A and kept the Accord tranny.

To answer your question you must tap the holes. Go get a tap set in the size you want the bolts to be (make sure it fits through the mount) and use some tranny fluid or oil. Pour the fluid on and start turning the tap. When it gets a little hard to do just unscrew it out, wipe it off, pour some more fluid and keep going. Do this until you have gone deep enough to safely mount the bolt. Now put some of that goop on the bolt to ensure it will never come out and screw it in. Chop off the old ones flush and mount.

explain please.

 

u will felt out of vtec every gear after shift. i tried it

 

Well lemme rephrase that VTEC will work it just takes longer to get to. Thats why i said it doesnt work right. Id just go with the H22A especially if your going all motor. F22A should be decent for boost because of longer ratios.

 

my car used to be auto as well. attach the tranny bracket to the tranny, attach the mount to the bracket, and drill a new hole in the bracket. i'll post a pic when i get home, its hard to explain over the net.

 

use boltssssssssssssssssssssssss you don't really need to use studs
