Alright, so I'm getting the JDM tranny really soon, just waiting for the shipment.

What else do I need to swap a 5sp tranny into the 2001 Prelude?
Pedal Assembly
Shift Linkage


What else?

I got severly rear-ended and it was repair, much to my disbelief. I'm supposed to get depreciation of value ( i bought the brand new when I was 16, I've worked hard thank you). Anyway, when it was towed, the tow guy put the damn thing in neutral and fucked it up. So they are paying for a new tranny (Sport-Shift), I'm using the money to do a 5-speed swap. I've already had one SS go out on my, and it's not gonna happen again. Plus, I want a 5spd tranny, they are much better for autox. (For me anyway)

 

In addition to the tranny itself, the pedal assembly, and shift linkage, you also need:
Manual Tranny Mount
Manual Starter
Manual ECU
Clutch
Flywheel
Axles
Clutch Master Cylinder
Clutch Slave Cylinder
Clutch Damper Assembly
Hydraulic Lines
Manual Gauge Cluster (optional)
Shift Boot
Shift ****
Honda Manual Tranny Fluid

Also, in SCCA SoloII, switching the tranny will put you in the Street Mod class where the Prelude will never be competive. You would be better off selling your Auto car and buying a 5spd model IMHO.

What some pricing on this stuff, also where to get/availibility

Axles? Wouldnt the ones i have now work?

I would buy a 5spd model.

If:
my car hadnt been wrecked
there is one with 17,000 miles or less
EBP!

You know, I thought the same thing when I first heard that new axles were needed... But I've heard from more than one person that the Auto tranny axles do not fit the Manual tranny. I don't know what is different.

How much did you pay for the tranny? Where did you get it from, what all is included? Thanks

 

I bought it off a friend. I will find out when/if another is coming. I'll let ya know.
