O boy ok lets start..

1 year ago i was so excited to get my prelude. she was a beautiful clean
93 2.3l Nonvtec automatic. with 55k on her. not shabby right
well a few weeks ago on my way home from work she overheated something horrible so i took a peed into the rad and to my horror complete muck is the only thing i can call it, so like anyone else i lepted for the opportunity to get the Jdm H22a. witch i did at a reasonable 1.2k for the Engine,Auto trannie and the P13.. well idk what the **** happend i put everything in the car ran perfect. i took a firends advice and nabed a P28 and had xeno chip it and tune it. vtec was poping at 4.5k rpm beings it was a auto i wanted it lower then 5k+ since it shifts at 6.5 . ok so today when i left the shop im tdriveing home and boom the trannie would no go anyware! i mean it would engage for a heart beat follow through 1/2/3 and boom then it was just outof gear like the shift game (the automatic shift cable poped out inside, or so i hope ill know tommorrow.

Anyway i have made my mind up to get a manual trannie it the bitch. i dont have the bank to jump on the Mpa4 trannie i think it is so im just going to the junk yard and im going to pull me a2.3 trannie and all the assemble. im going to list some parts i would liketo know if i am missing anything

5 speed ECU maybe i can use my chiped p28?

and ther random nuts and bolt..
now this like i found Google.. but i can not for the life of me find a reference guide for the 4th gen swap.. theirs a 5 gen swap guide but no 4th gen info.
has anyone found info on this kinda change?

I would defenitly appriate the advice

 

Man Im sorry to hear that about your car. I also own a 4th gen. Im looking around for information on the tranny swap for ya, but being at work at the moment limits my resources. So I'll try my best and get back to you as soon as I find something.

 

I defenitly do appriate your help.. i think i found my problem this morning.. i blew the auto's trannie pump just more reason to get me the manual lol the only thing i can still find is the 5th gen trannie swap info.. nothing on the 4th

 

Not a problem, friend. Glad to assist in any way I can. So far all I've found is prices on used MT assemblies. If you're interested in that I found the full trans for under 700$. (For 2.2L Vtec).

 

hey give bboixtc a PM he had a auto lude and did a 5-spd swap i'm sure he'll help you.

 

defenitly going to pm him but id like to keep the thread going untill i find a anwser
