can a prelude tranny work with the f22 motor, the reason for this question is that folks say that the f22 tranny can only handle so much power until it goes BOOM!!!! so why not swap that badboy out?

 

i believe its the same mount... but fuck it, just do the whole motor/tranny swap!

 

The wouldn't be very smart considering that prelude trannies aren't that strong. I went to a prelude site and in their forum they had a whole section for transmission problems because there were so many of them.

 

To naswer your question, yes all "F" and "H" series transmission are interchangeable.

 

So what do I when I achieve power that my tranny can't handle?
Get a rebuild?

 

The 5gen 97-01 preludes with the auto sport shift are the trannys that break all the time. All H-series manual trannys are bulletproof. The old AEM hatch was making over 600hp on a stock H22 tranny. Not a stock clutch or flywheel, but the tranny was stock.
