I have a 1994 Honda accord lx and found a great deal on a 1996 accord wagon transmission. Would it fit considering the 96 is obd2 and mines obd1? Any help would be appreciated

 

It shouldn't be an issue. The only thing electronic in the trans that MAY be different is the VSS plug (but it should be the same). All the other stuff (kickdown cable, shifter cable, shift solenoids, etc) is the same.

Just an FYI, the wagon transmission has a slightly higher final drive than the coupe/sedan transmissions. So you may notice your cruising RPM just a bit higher than before. The car should accelerate a bit better as well. The wagons had the higher final drive to help with acceleration since they weighted about 300lb heavier.

 

Was really hoping that was the case, I read up on that as well gear ratios are not the same but whatever it takes to get this baby running. Your a lifesaver thank you

 

No worries! I hit a chunk of steel on the freeway with my wagon a few years backed, and pretty much cracked my transmission casing in half. Ended up buying an Auto from a Japanese Accord SIR (top of the line with more powerful engine) because I could get it fast. It had even shorter gearing, but made the car a blast to drive. Did the swap in a day with the help of a few friends. If you plan on doing the work yourself, you can find a digital copy of the OEM service manual HERE. It was made the swap pretty straightforward. Id definitely recommend borrowing a transmission jack if you have access to one.
