okay i need some quick help, i think i bought the wrong clutch, will a clutch for a like 89-92 prelude fit a 2.2 cl. the preludes were 2.0 or 2.1's. HELP!!

wilp99

according to clutch city online the performance clutch is the same part number. as the 91-01 prelude. i think ur ok. the reason why stock clutches have different part numbers is the ammount of material they use to make the clutch surface. the racing clutches have the same clutch surface so i dont think there will be a problem. if its not too late to change the order change it to the accord, but if it is then i still think ur aiit.

bkmc24

okay thanks alot man.

i think that prelude came with an F20b. which means an f22 tranny would be very similar

bkmc24

okay cool, makes me calmer lol

Motohip

No, the 3rd generation Preludes came with B-series engines. A clutch will only work if it's from the same engine/tranny family, which it is not.

bkmc24

so they came with b20's?

Motohip

That is correct!

bkmc24

okay, so it wont fit then.....?

LCARUCA 97

yup. lude had the b20 and the b21 in those years. it was the accord that had the f20.

LCARUCA 97

wont fit bro.

wilp99

go to www.clutchcityonline.com look at the performance clutch for the prelude and the cl. same p/n. and its the same p/n as the accord.

hes right

bkmc24

were talking about 89 90 and 91 ludes,


damn it

wilp99

just because its the wrong tranny type doesent mean that it wont work and the p/n's arent the same. i do agree that the best thing to do is get the right part, but on the same note its a posibility its the same part.

just alittle fyi. on a 87 mustang gt t-5 tranny, the thro out bearing is the same one (size shape all demeensions) as a 87 toyota 4 runner. i know its ghetto and u dont wanna know how i know this.

bkmc24

you prolly had both??? so maybe itll fit then lol i guess ill try it and if it doesnt fit sell it and get a diff one

wilp99

i would just hate to waste the money. unless u can take it back.

bkmc24

well its really really cheap cuz the guy wanted to get rid of it

Motohip

Maybe cause it woudn't fit his CL, lol.

wilp99

the only things i could see not fitting are the input splines, (make sure it slidesonto the splines. it will not go easily but it should be able to be tapped with your palm a couplt times and go on. and the other thing is the fly wheel make sure it covers the same diamiter of the fly wheel as the old one. and the same with the pressure plate, unless it comes with its own.

bkmc24

actually he bought it for his gf's lude and then she dumped him
and so he sold it for cheap as hell

CL Platano

I wouldn't it even risk it..IMO

bkmc24

well im trying to get out of it asap so thanks for the help

agranado

no. i REALLY wanna know how you know this

Motohip

Unless you can be out of a car for several days if it doesn't work.

LCARUCA 97

just return it and get an exedy clutch kit for 94-97 prelude/accord/cl/odyssey. doesnt cost a lot, works great.

Motohip

There was a five speed odyssey?

LCARUCA 97

hmm, yeah you are right. i was just trying to think of all the f22/h22 engines. that would be fucking tits! Man if my odyssey was a 5spd the wife would be driving the cl for sure!!!!

Motohip
