Default Question about a M2B4 transmission

What year and trim Preludes come with that tranny?
I heard about a 5th gear grind in those. How do you prevent that.
And what mods do I have to do, to install it into my 95 Accord with f22b2?
And whats a quaife lsd?
Any info will help.

P.S. I tried to research, but got lost, lol.

M2B4 - JDM 4Gen Prelude (92-96) LSD tranny.
Ratios:
M2B4 - 3.307 - 1.950 - 1.360 - 1.071 - 0.787 - 4.266

Rpms are the same as if i am driving with the M2Y4 (5gen prelude- USDM, JDM) all the way up until getting it into 5th gear.. The LSD is amazing in turns and in a straight line there is less wheel-hop (if u know what ur doing), and better acceleration...

the 5th gear grind is most likely to happen in the 5th gen trannies, not on this one.

this is some info I found in another site:
author: paul h22

LSD - All about the Quaife Limited Slip Differential
The purpose of a limited slip differential is to power both drive wheels instead of just one. With an open differential, power shifts to the wheel with less grip. The LSD, on the other hand, senses which wheel has the better grip and biases the power to that wheel.

The real world indications of this include:
Wheelspin is reduced under acceleration and turning. Just launch the car and it pulls away flawlessly.

Hard launches create a nearly 50/50 power split to both drive wheels, resulting in essentially twice the grip of an open differential. This completely eliminates the peglegging effect that open diffs are infamous for.

LSD also improves handling by transmitting more power to the outside front wheel while turning causing the car to achieve much higher cornering speeds. This is similar to the effects ATTS produces, however ATTS is electronic and doesn't work as productively or seamlessly. ATTS is also only prevalent under spirited turning situations and not straight driving or launching. This makes LSD far superior.

A LSD greatly helps a FWD car handle much less FWD like. By that I mean much less understeer, with oversteer ability even, and ultimately a greatly enchanced automotible handling experience.

I looked more into the swap and found a thread in the Prelude site. Guy is talking about a somekind of tranny braket on the half shaft that needs to be modified.
Is he right ?
or it is just a direct fit with no mods required?

Was that guy putting it into an Accord also? If so he was probably trying to use the Accord Axles. Don't quote me but as long as you use your Accord axles you should be fine. I am using my Accord axles with my H22 swap with no problems and no modifications.

might as well do a h22/h23 swap with it, the lower gear ratio on prelude motor and the low reving accord motor= no fun
