i need help. got a tranny off a 98 prelude and bought some h22 synchros for it.
my mechanic said the synchros did not fit. the synchros were bought from synchrotech!!

i called dave and he said that i could have a h23 or a f22 tranny. but i believe i have an H22 tranny and that dave and his ****en lady sales rep at synchrotech sent me the wrong part. DAVE told me that the reason there are two versions of the kit, one kit has the part # "SO-120C", and the other is "SO-120C-H22", he said that the synchro they sent me should fit H22, GSR, HYDRO, B16.

from what i believe, they sent me the wrong part and they are just bull****ting me so they will not have to pay for their mistake.

here is what i beleived i ordered!!!
Honda Prelude H22 3rd/4th Gearspeed Carbon Synchro Sleeve Set

here is what they sent me

notice the part number difference on the invoice compared to the one i wanted for the H22 .

Here is what i believe they sent me from the website
SO-120C GSR ITR 3rd/4th Carbon Synchros, Springs & Sleeve - Synchrotech Transmissions Inc

when i call to place the order, i Specifically said it was for an H22 TRANNY

so now my mechanic says that the new synchro will not fit into my tranny

and the sticker label on my tranny has been ripped off so i have no idea what kind of tranny i have. dave claims that he sent me the right order and that my tranny is not H22. its either an F22 or H23.

RIGHT now i just need to figure out what tranny i have. since i have no label, the only ID that i can read on the housing is "PX5-1" which is engraved on the tranny housing.

so thats it, i tried google and everything. no help.. please if someone knows if the engrave marking PX5-1 could tell me what tranny i have.

The H22 will have "P16" stamped in to the bell case by the square hole for the fork. "PX5" is the H23 or F22. If you want to return the H22 parts that you ordered by mistake I will exchange them or refund your money. I offered to help ID your tramsmission if you give me the tooth count for the gears or send a sample of the part you need. The H22, B18C, and B16A2 use the same 3-4 synchros and sleeve. I list them with different part numbers and descriptions on my site for those who do not know this. The H23 and F22 use a smaller diameter synchro and have 3 different sleeve options depending on the model.

We can ID the transmission by gear ratio. Start with the final drive and count the countershaft teeth and ring gear teeth. Then count the teeth on each countershaft gear starting bottom (1st) and working your way up the shaft 2-3-4-5. Finally count the main shaft 1-5 teeth 1st at the bottom. Don't worry about the straight cut gears as these are for reverse. We only need the helical (angle) gear tooth count.

Example from a B16 Transmission:
RATIO:4.40
F/D:66X15

C/S
1) 42
2) 40
3) 35
4) 31
5) 28
M/S
1) 13
2) 19
3) 24
4) 28
5) 33
