hey i bought this trans for $50 cause my lx trans has no 2nd gear. i have the trans on the motor now but im having trouble getting the passengerside mount to line up and the trans bracket in the back... just wondering if it is even possible to use this trans on my car.
the trans is from a 93ex and i have a 94lx

 

90-97 F22 trannies, as well as the 98-2001 4cyl Accord trannies should fit.

Which tranny mount are you using?

Where did you score the tranny for $50 from?!! I need a new trans for my '92 Accord, too!

 

a friend lol
i tried using the 94lx trans bracket and mount but it didnt fit on the 93ex trans. so i went and bought a 93ex trans mount earlier but it doesnt line up right with the bolt holes its off about a half inch. also the trans bracket in the back just wont line up correctly i may have the motor twisted but idk. but my main problem is that passenger side trans mount.

 

Hmmm, I would've thought the 93 tranny bracket would've fixed it. Sounds like there is some other problem.

I would disconnect the driver's side mount and front engine mount, get the rear bracket installed, then the tranny bracket, then see where you stand with the other two mounts. That rear mount is tough. I would get that one installed first before proceeding.

If that doesn't work, sell me the tranny for $50. :D

 

lol ill try tomorrow im using the 94 trans bracket on the back mount btw. and the 93 passenger side mount.

 

cb and cd have different engine mounts

 

yea im trying to think of what i can do to make it work cause i cant afford to buy a new trans lol...

 

does anyone know anything on changing transmission cases or any good links?

 

wow. good luck with that. trust me. just buy a new trans.

 

i would but im tight on money... :\

 

using 92 accord ex tranny with 94-95 accord engine in the 92 ex frame.

i think with the CB tranny, your going to have to customize new tranny bracket. the tranny bracket that is welded onto the frame of the car might have to be remove and then you'll have to weld a CB one in place of it. i hear they are pretty cheap, even at dealerships.

but it seems like you have already tried this.

 

I don't know how your's look like. Maybe you can redrill a hole. In this thread, this guy was able to re-drill a hole to line up a transmission mount for his prelude. Don't know whether you can do something similar.

You'll need to re-tap two tranny stud holes. There should be two extra holes on the CB tranny; tap & drill and move the studs to the hole you tapped to obtain the CD5 tranny mount.

 

im alil confused about this 1 sry im a noob with accords :s i noticed my 94 trans has holes for the 93style mount and the 94style mount. but the 93 trans only has the 93 style mount holes. the 93 mount wont work on my body style its about an inch or so too far forward towards the front of the car. thats why i was going to attempt to swap trans cases. not sure if it would be a good idea though... i wish i had a camera so i could show u guys pics :\

 

im trying to use a 93ex trans with a 94 engine on a 94 lx frame

 

ok so i was able to swap the trans cases but now im trying to put the shift change assembly back on but the middle shift fork wont move. is this normal or what? the left and right fork do move though. help would be much appreciated
