Default tranny swap need info

I have a 97 honda prelude that has the stock auto trans in it. I heard about people taking the b16 trannys and putting them with the h22s. small gear ratio = faster times . But crappier highway mpg. Theres suppose to be a whole swap kit that you can buy that comes with everything (computer, trans, pedals,..etc.) Does anybody know about this kit and if so where to find it?

its called the H2B kit.. it was designed for the civic/integra chassis i believe. It doesn't work for the prelude chassis. ur better off looking for a H series tranny with LSD. the T2W4 or w/e, or the M2B4 OEM LSD are good choices.

my bad for the english, was answering your question between deaths in counter-strike.

the tranny's i listed are OEM H series trannies. The T2W4(SP?) i forgot exactly what it is, but its the accord euro-R tranny. and the M2B4 is the JDM LSD 5spd tranny. of course you could just crack open a run of the mill base tranny and build it with a Quaife LSD, but that'll cost a nice chunk of change.

yeah.. i'm in the same boat as you Turbo...

I tried to have a shop in seattle do it but they don't want the headache.. lame..

My question is this. Can I buy a 4th gen prelude.. and swap all the parts.. i've seen on a post that lists the parts and there is a ****-ton of them.. i'm looking for a 5th gen that has been totaled but still has the front clip basically intact.. that is not an easy find.. but the 4th gen.. i have found a few for like 2K running and everything.. i'm hoping to pick one of these up but don't know if everything will transfer over properly.

help...
