I was wondering if anybody did this to their CL

shineynitelite

no but it would be cool, just not worth the money IMO

shorter gears, some have factory lsd, etc etc

Acura2.3CL

I thought that somebody did do this, it might have been to a f23 but same thing. If I remember correctly they said the top speed was less than with the regular tranny. But of course take off would benefit with shorter gears and all. and the lsd like shiney said.

CL Platano

I don't think anyone has it, but it lines up fine.

You'd have to get a JDM H22 tranny to get the differential. I see them on Honda-Tech sometimes, but they're almost always in Cali and pick-up only. Might just be easier to snag up an H22 tranny and just buy the LSD seperately. That's what I was gonna do.

I'm not gonna waste money modding the F22, but a shorter geared tranny is worth the money.

how much were they?

If i put the h22 trans on my f22 do I use the same axle

Someone has done this before with their f22. I think he lived out on the westcoast somewhere...

yeah you dont have to swap anything besides the tranny. lots of people on cb7 tuner did it with their f series, its really easy and bolts right up. also the same for h23 tranny if u can find one of those they are slightly better than our stock tranny. of course h22 trans being the best.

OK, first off , you dont have to use h22 axels, you can use your own. If your going for a tranny with shorter gears, dont go with the h22 tranny. The gears are much to short and your top speed with the f22 will be around 105 mph !!! The best tranny for our cars and the f22 would be the m2s4/ h23 non vtec transmission. The gear ratio is tight, the gears are not quite as close as h22 but will GREATLY improve acceleration from 0-80. Top speed around 115 which is not that great but pulling a 15.5 @90 mph just with bolt ons and a tranny Those numbers are from a guy who swapped one on his 2dr accord

agranado

interesting. will it bolt right up? Also, how hard are these to find?

M2B4 Trannies go for $800 - $1000 depending on mileage.

Palayah8ta

thanks

Blazin Si

M2S4 - Prelude Si (H23) = $250
M2F4 - Prelude VTEC (H22) = $400-500
M2B4 - JDM LSD (H22) = $800-1000

OEM LSD's go for roughly $200 - $300.

I was thinking maybe an H23 tranny with OEM LSD would make a nice set-up. Make our cars feel sportier and more fun to drive.

MUCH wuicker too, if your looking for something to get your 1/4 mile down, a tranny upgrade is the single BEST thing you can do. It will make you feel like you have a new car again.

agranado

could it run on the stock gauges?

edit: rather, would the stock gauges read correctly if you threw the new tranny in there?

ayougo

It Bolts Right On With No Issues At All !!! Nothing< Zip No Issues YES EVERYTHING WOULD WORK JUST LIKE A REPLACMENT TRANNY !!!!

agranado

no need to get cranky biiiiiitch

sorry its just that all this aftermarket shit and honda replacement shit, is much much easier than people think. buying parts and putting shit on is much easier than it sounds and when people ask all these funky questions ....Just BOLT THE dam thing on. headers , parts....all that bullshit,, just fucking research the shit, find people whove done it, buy it and put it on. I dont see how some people cant even put a header on there car, or install a tranny etc.....shit, you dont need a lift, just some power tools, beer, cigs, TIME, and a dam brain



Sorry for pmsing, had to get this off my chest. IM writing a complete NOOB guide so all the questions can stop !!! EVERYTHING a noob would ever want to know, its all going to be in one complete thread. Down to the last bolt and mod.

You can always swap out the H23 5th gear for your F22/F23 5th gear to make highway cruising easy on the motor.

I'm doing the same thing to my GSR tranny. Putting in an ATS 4.9 FD and swapping out my 5th for an LS 5th gear. Any reputable tranny place will do this for cheap. The one near me is charging $80 to change the gear.

ayougo

thats a good fucking price !!! Most shops wont do this because its pain staking and costs $$$ too much for the customer around here
