If you buy just the JDM F20B long block then I don't see why you can't run the M2A4 trans off your F22 from your CB7. Otherwise, the JDM F20B comes with a nice T2T4 LSD 5spd trans which I have in my CD5 mated to my JDM H22A and it drives like a champ! Gear ratios are the same to the 97-01 Prelude 5spd trans(Non ATTS) except the T2T4 has LSD.

The M2F4 is my favorite H tranny for its ratios and SHORTER 5th :O)

OVERPRICED and hard to find diff parts for, WHEN you break the ring, the ONLY way to get a replacement is a ATTS tranny or another B4 IF you can find someone parting it out (not likely) Ask me how I know.

OBX diff here for 4 years with upgraded hardware at 750 WHP (with gearset). Flawless.

Oh yea no doubt..
M2a4 is great with an aftermarket lsd especially with a strong product.. THat would be a great choice OP if not too worried about Lsd or not (just m2a4 reg not lsd)

Damn I feel the love. I would reccomend what comes with the swap also, I had a m2b4 in the a prelude i once owned and I liked it, however I never had any problems with it so I dont know about parts scarceness. In either case I figure I'd leave you with this:


Good luck!
