Default Will a H23A replace my H22AH as a drop in replacement

My daughter has a high mileage 1999 honda Prelude and it needs a drivetrain (eng/trans) rebuild or replacement. Will a H23A with the triptronic directly replace the stock H22A4 2.2 with tiptronic? that is in it now? thanks

All depends on if it's an H23A1 or H23A. Technically either will work, but the A1 will be (slightly) more work to get it going

Manual transmissions = yes

With him having said that I'm thinking that not all h/f auto trannys may be compatible.

I assume your talking about the actual JDM H23A Vtec, The motor will bolt up easily, but I highly doubt your going to find one with the tripto-tranny still hanging from it. Think about it, 2000 JDM Accord tranny and shift linkage in a prelude. That might be a little tough.just get the motor and bolt it to your original US tranny(like mine )
