i want to sell my prelude to buy a red prleude just liek it with an h22 in it.. the body and interiner are in nice shape.. my the tranny is scrtewed.. 3rd gear dosent work it dosent stay in gear.. any one know how i can fix this? ( transmission shop wants liek 6 grand so thats not an option) but im goign to need the transmission to be workign right to get any money for this car..

ps. 4th gear was doing the same thind 3rd dose for about a week.. you could push in the clutch and put it in gear and let out the cluth.. but as soon as u gave it gas i would pop out and gear and gride like hell.. then about a week after it started doing that i tryed to put it in 4th agian and it work.. so i tryed 3rd and 3rd gear stayed in at half throttel.. when i hit it full throttle it poped out and hasent workjed again sence.. 4th is till working? whats goign on?!

 

6 grand for a new transmission? what shop are you going to?? buy one and have a friend help you put it in

 

What year is the car?

You have 2 options IMO:
1.) Sell the car as is to someone looking for a project car

2.) If you really want to fix the tranny, get a replacement tranny. Does the car need a new clutch? If so, get the clutch changed and ask them to swap a working tranny in at the same time. Clutch replacements cost ~$600 including the clutch kit.

Option #2 is tricky because you need to see if the price difference between selling the car as is or selling the car working properly is worth the ~$800 cost to fix the car. If it was an Si or VTEC model, I think the choice would be easier. Since S models aren't in as much demand, I think option 1 is the better choice.

I hope that helps.

 

I think the best option for him is option #3:

Buy a H22 + Tranny and swap it into your current car. It's the most cost effective way of achieving what you want (a Prelude just like you have now but with a H22 in it)

 

ill sell you a h22 complete swap for you car. $1000

 

6 grand! holy ****! you could do so much **** with that money. do the h22 swap!
