Sometime this week i'm getting a new transmission and I have the option of choosing one I belive.

Queation 1: DOES the prelude mp1a (automatic with LSD) bolt STRAIGHT up to the f22b2?

Question 2: Can I use my accord half-shafts?

Question 3: How's the gearing, will this at all effect my gas mileage?

I ask all this because if it is an easy straight up bolt on then I'll pay a little extra to get an LSD...but if I have to change a bunch of stuff, I don't wanna.

Thanks,

Nick

 

Does anyone know or know someone who could help me out?

Oh, and Question 4: will my ABS still work with LSD?

Question 1: yes
Question 2: yes as long as you use the accord axles with the half shaft
Question 3: well, 6200 rpm's on a tranny that's geared for a motor to rev to 7200-7400 rpm's is obviously going to make the shifts a lot sooner on your motor...also, 5th gear on the highway will put you at about 4k rpm's cruising...

so yes, it will affect your gas milleage

Question 4: yes

 

Ok, how about this question...

Do they make an affordable LSD for an Accord Auto Tranny?

 

anyone?

 

check quaife's website...

Actually, if you think about it...shift points are controlled by the computer, so technically if you keep your original automatic computer, your shift pointsshould remain. Furthermore all you have to determine the cruising rpms is compare the gear ratios between the two trannies.

ANYBODY is this true? does this mean it wouldn't affect my gas mileage after all (this is still my daily comuter)

 

What is the point of doing it?

if you plan to spend as little as you can on gasoline why why why investing a bunch of cash on a oem AUTO tranny?

no it still will...what i was talking about with the shift points was a lower shift point (6200) on that particular tranny as opposed to a shift at 7200 with the h22 motor...obviously you are loosing some rpm's that the h22 would still have to make it gain more speed per gear...make sense i'm even confusing myself here...
