Default F series tranny on a H series engine ?

hi

im planning to make a swap on by EDM BB3

ive got a JDM H22a engine here but with an auto tranny

also ive got a tranny from a f20a4 engine

the tranny is nearly new has just run 7.000 miles but i dont know if the M2J4 tranny fits on the H22a engine

i was looking for a m2b4 but cannot find one and i really dont need it because i´ve already swapped a 4ws system on my BB3

maybe later if i have enough money i´ll look for a msb4 tranny because i´d love to have a 4ws system ans LSD

but who can tell me now if the M2J4 tranny fits on the H series engine ?

hope someone can help me

But uh..

You don't need one because you swapped a 4WS system on your Lude?
Um, 4WS has nothing to do with a LSD Tranny. There's no relation there to say that a LSD isn't needed since you have 4WS now.

LSD is in the Tranny and can put power to both wheels.. *Moves the Wheels.

4WS only deals with the "Steering" aspect and only the rear wheels at that. (I think that's correct.)

Steering has no affect on the LSD.. In terms of putting power to the ground via both wheels.

If I'm wrong anyone can correct me.

so the 4ws is for cornering and the LSD for accelareting ? so it would be perfect to have both ?

More or less yeah.. The 4WS isn't, from what I've *heard*, that *big* of a feature.. One, as it stops working for people often. And second, I think it only works at certain speeds?? I'm not sure on that, I think I read that some where...

My '94 Si is 2WS and I think it handles pretty well when I've been gooffing off in school parking lots around here. Goes around the corners and through (between not actually through them) the curbs pretty smoothly..
And yes, the parking lots were empty.

But I have not driven the 4WS so I can not be certain that it is better or worse.. You'll have to be the judge of that..

My Prelude handles like a dream, just really damn bumpy.

The gearing for an f seires transmission will be very bad with an h22. its alot taller you would be better with any h series tranny over that one.

^^ That, now that is true..

I forgot to mention that while it will work, yes, but it might not be a help or your best option..

4ws works at all speeds. if you searched about it, you'd find the details.

people, if you aren't sure exactly what you are talking about, don't say anything, the more you do that the more people get mis-informed.

there is a speed changeover in 4ws at 30mph that changes the direction the rear wheels turn. you wouldn't want the rear wheels turning the opposite way the fronts are witching lanes on the highway would you? Also, the reason it doesn't work for some people, is because like all things electrical, they don't last forever.. and for a car 14 years old, solder points expand and contract and eventually crack. most 4ws systems can be fixed by simply resoldering the 4ws computer connections. we need to make an official 4ws knowledge thread... I'll get to work on that I guess...

Hey man, I said I wasn't sure... But I had read something about a relation between 4WS & speed, just I didn't have it the right way, my bad. Also, I put my .02¢, that doesn't mean someone else can't. That's why multiple people can come and post their knowledge on the topic also.. No one else had said anything so I thought I might help..

Yeah, I know I wouldn't want the wheels turning this way and that. Didn't say I did..

And yes, I know solder points cracked.. I have to deal with fixing cold solders everday. I work at a company that repairs and refurbishes computer equipment... Broken solders are common problem, but a quick and easy fix. Well, that is if you know "how" to solder.. I've seen people doing things that don't even make sense..

Thanks for clearing up my incomplete information though shutta.

This is true with the USDM F22 transmission, but not with the EDM F20 transmission. I believe it's actually geared shorter then the H22 transmission

yes i had both. BB3 lude with F20A4 and now i have JDM bb1. F20 tranny is shorter then H22 but H22 redlines much higher. F20 tranny will be longer on H22 engine then it was with its original engine because of higher redline. you must compare the speed of both cars in same gears in same RPM. or simply check the gearing info
