my friends Lxi accord auto tranny blew up. he sourced a parts car and we have both cars ready. is there a catch in this swap? I figured we'll change the transmission all the way down to the automatic torque converter, but keep linkage + driveshafts, to minimize our efforts...

we are both dubbers (VW freaks) so no expecience with Accord, but i have done a b16 swap in a crx, zc swap in a crx and a couple manual trannies in a crx (it was all in the same crx!!)

so any help/tips appreciated. anything we'll need (new parts). we have a full garage for this project and all air tools, car lift, etc.

 

Heh, dude, you neglected to mention what the parts car is...

 

yah, whats the parts car?

 

Yeah, since he says "swap," I don't think the parts car is an auto '89 LXi?
If it is, plug and play.

 

oops sorry guys. it is also an accord..

im pretty sure both are F series motors... so everything should bolt up.


never done an auto tranny so that why i was wondering if theres any quips.

 

I don't think those were F series. I'm thinking A series like A20

 

Yeah what year is the Accord? if it's an '89 it's an A20 if it's a '90 or above it's a F-series motor. That is probably not an easy swap.

 

if it from the same year, or around that same year its probably just going to be P&P. y0!

 

you're correct sir.

edit..damn that english grammer crap.
