I've heard you can just put the h series trans case on the f series trans and be done with it but then i've just heard you have to shim the internals of the f series trans to put the h series casing any info?

 

H & F transmissions are the same the only difference is gearing and the studs for the trans mount....

 

IIRC the gear sets are not 100% compatible, they need to be swapped in pairs. Also if you are asking about swapping H gears into an F trans, I don't think it works without machining/grinding out a portion of the F series housing.

There are a couple threads that I read years ago about this but have not done anything personally. I was thinking about using some of the H23 gears in my F trans but haven't really pursued it yet. Too many other things on the go!

 

i have mixed and matched them from f22a and h22a, as stated the studs different may have to tap a couple of threads.

 

nope just use the two nut method to remove the stud and put it in the other hole....

I had a h22 1st 2nd 3rd 4th with a f series 5th and final drive... the 5th gear had to be machined down a bit to work! was put together by a friend of mine....but to my knowledge nothing had to be done with the case.

 

My f22 trans is from a 90- 91 ex accord so the car is diff from the standard f series meaning you cant do the 2 stud method because the bosses that need to be tapped aren't there

 

I dont know man.....I had both the cases sitting next to each other and each one had an extra hole already tapped for a different chassis(prelude). Mine came out of a 93. the other case was from a prelude sh. Are you just needing a new case... or do you want some shorter gears? I have a H23 case laying around! I'm in MO too!

 

No my case is different than the lx and dx cases and its diff then the h trans as well

 

why dont you just swap a hole h22 trans in? shortening up the gears made a huge difference in the powerband on my f series

 

My h series trans is junk. Plus my car is a boosted built motor del sol

 

so you just want the the f series trans to bolt up with your swap mounts?

 

Yea and I can't do the whole take the 2 studs out and tap the bosses bc my case doesn't have then because my trans is out of a 90-91 ex accord and they are the odd ball trans case

 

I see....Swap the gear sets and see... you could find shims... syncrotech should have them.... I dont think there would be any difference... the case might not have the bosses...but honda likes to keep everything the same. I dont think they would be different length input/output shafts.

 

I don't think so either but I was just wanting to know before I took my good trans apart. I've not swapped the gears yet because I've never done it and don't really want to. I just want to go the easiest route

 

How much you want for your trans

 

its just a case....no gear sets....but I tell you what bro....If you want it you can have it for free....pick up only... located just east of Jefferson city. It would need some cleaning. I think the diff is still in it.

 

What trana is it was it

 

h23....if I remember right its a M2b4

 

Thats what my junk trans is so I thank you for the offer but if the case will swap I'll just use mine

 

just did some searching thats obviously not right..... but I know it came out of a h23 prelude... m2s4 is what the net says it should be.

 

Yea mine is out of a prelude si h23
