how did it go ? what trans did you use, accord,prelude ? any troubles ?

thanks for the criticism. my newer videos seem to have been getting better. ive also stepped up to a newer better camera setup aswell. thanks for the support

@@Wrenchlife604 what trans do you recommend I use on same car ?

He is indeed inbread.

ERROL DILLON yah use 2 people to out it back in. One to bench press it up other to guide it and thread a bolt in

yep 2 ppl for sure. I used a floor jack under the tranny, with a plate hooked to top of jack that I made just for that purpose, with straps around the tranny. look at a transmission jack, and you can weld up something or even use boards to make one out of your regular floor jack

100%

😂😂

wish you luck. hardest part was freeing the axles up. and the stubborn bolts on the radius arm. make shure you have an extra hadn to lift and reinstall the tranny.

@@Wrenchlife604 Oh yea, success. thanks! New clutch installed. 2 things (not sure if it was covered in the video), but need to release the 2 bolts that hold the exhaust just in front of cat converter and also detatch the o2 sensor plug to cat converter. I found that plug thing out the hard way. took er for a test drive and had check engine light, p0141 code. wire pulled loose out of the plug, but it was easy enough to snap it back in.

Yeah,them radious rod bolts are no joke.i did mine and let me tell you lol Gonna need a strong impact and or PB blaster and a long ass breaker bar .

make shure u remove the hidden bolt by the axle hole . if it still dostn seperate. you might need to slip a flat head screwdriver and hammer it to pry the trans away from the engine. usualy the trans gets stuck on the dowels. and can sieze on the dowels

Automatic or standard? Pulling the axles will be the same.

Automatic

nah the v6s automatics are a nightmare to pull. did a acura CL v6 auto trans which i believe is the same chasis as the accord. with an automatic you have to remove the shift cable which is kinda tricky not hard, the shift solnoids connectors which are easy to damage and expensive. also you will need to remove the torque convter bolts which isnt a problem either. just more steps . think the problem i encounted was removing the front subframe with radius arms out , plus it will have another mount on the front. wasnt a fun job. i wouldnt recomend a beginer do it at home

Do it up. Better gearing makes up for a lower hp engine

Wrench life 604 yea man, it's a automatic tho. I was debating on getting the same f23a swap with trans for $650 or going h. It's up in the air right now. or even a f20b swap.

f23 swap would be kinda worthless. either h22 or f20b would be a good choice. did an auto to 5 speed swap a few years back on a civic and that sucked to source parts from.

Use a 2nd jack and a peice of wood. If you dont have another jack. Borrow one from the spare in the trunk of another vehcile

@@Wrenchlife604 worst case, you think i"ll be able to get away with only using one jack?

For the front mounts yes. You might need a 2nd jack for the rear mount. Forgot how i did it. Might show how i the video. Its been a while

@@Wrenchlife604 would you suggest i get a floor tranny jack and use the regular jack for support , or does 2 regular jacks and maybe a 2 by 4 work just as well?

I had both the f23 manual transmission with the h22 engine. Before i upgraded to a h22 tranny. Yes it will work. A h22 tranny would be a better option for preformance.

Yup. Still the same fluid thats in it. Today

@@Wrenchlife604 so h22 and f20b are the trans numbers ? or should i get automatic prelude?

i swapped in a m2y4 prelude transmission. found in the 97-01 prelude. with the h22a4 engine

Honda manual transmission fluid is recomended. 15 years ago. The shop manual would recomend to use engine oil. Id recomend to use honda genuine manual transmission fluid. If you can

That was a 5 speed manual i removed and installed a 5 speed manual from a prelude. Auto to manual is alot more work and more parts

@@Wrenchlife604 i a Honda at a junkyard has the tranny ima go check it out today hopefully everything is there

the car was originally a manual. so i dindt have to change the flywheel.

There is no gasket between the engine and trans. You most likley still have a bolt still in. Check the bellhousing bolt by the dricer axle hole. I always seem to forget that one

@@Wrenchlife604 Ok I did manage to separate it now but got a major issue. Its separating but not coming off. I left it in gear before I started everything is that the problem? or am I not pulling it out far enough

Just solved it, some of the shift linkage was bolted to the transmission had to take that off as well! phew big job man

If its stock . No point of changing it out. I realy like the h22 trans over the factory accord one for its quicker acceleration. Beware tho. Because is 5th gear at highway speeds. It cruises at a higher rpm

4-5 hours maybe. My front cross member bolts where rusty and they fought me for a bit

Nope. Nothing inside needs to be touched. 5:50 i show how easy it is to remove the 2 shifter linkages and thats all that connects the trans to the shifter

stock axles. stock half shaft. used this setup with the factory accord f23 trans, and used the same setup on my new h22a4 ( m2y4 shorter gear trans) didnt have to buy shit

awesome thanks bro

4h to remove

@@Wrenchlife604 I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I like your content and I'll be looking forward to watching more videos

Thank you for the support!

the engine is a h22a4. the swap is fairly easy but isnt quite plug and play. i have a walkaround video on my channel. fastfarward about half way through the video and i talk about the swap and whats involved. i think i might make a video on what is needed and the steps needed to swap a h series into a accord

I saw you mentioning about the dizzy wiring, where did you find the info on that? Are the ecu plugs obd2a or obd2b? Does that motor have the secondary butterflies in the intake manifold? Did all the mounts bolt right up?

yah the dizzy wiring has to be converted everything else wires up. all the mounts line up except for the driver side timing belt side upper mount. they make a conversion bracket which is less than $40. im not running secondary butteryflys, because im running a chipped obd1 ecu. running a ob2b to obd1 vtec 5 speed civic ecu running a h22 basemap that was cleaned up with a street tune

So do the secondary butterflies stay open if you run a chipped ecu? Or do you have to mod them?

They stay open if u dont hook up a vaccum line to it. So u pretty much dont need to do anything

None that you need to.

20-25 gallon.

@@Wrenchlife604 are oil free compressors better than the oil ones?

@@scion46 oiled is the way to go. Take a look into electric impacts tho. I heard milwaukee .makes some nice stuff. And it might be cheaper then buying a air hose. Compressor and air tools

@@Wrenchlife604 I'm assuming the corded ones would be best. I don't think a cordless has the power to remove and and tighten nuts onto tires

Do some research and see. I got both. And both work.

Nope. Will not work

Lmao

Just add to that question i have 2000 honda accord 2.3l 4cyl the engine is F23A1 but i got transmission from engine F23A, do you think it will work?

@@fidelcalayag6796 yeah

@@fidelcalayag6796 all f series and h series match up and can be mixed with little to no extra steps

For a manual. Yes. i believe so. Double check tho

yes sirrr

CAI = cold air intake. alot of people call it SRI aswell for short ram intake what it technically is. pretty much tubeing and a filter so call it whatever you like ;)

Wrench life 604 How do you figure you're pulling in air from a hot ass engine bay? What you have there is a SRI short ram intake. To get CAI you must be pulling cooler air from the outside be it by isolating the filter and routing cooler air in to it or by routing the filter outside of the engine bay. SRI will give you a little better throttle response and might or might not give better fuel economy, CAI will give you better throttle response and might or might not give you more HP.

neither realy do shit all if you wana be honest.

Wrench life 604 it will if your engine is tuned enough.

so is drilling speed holes in bumpers . cost per gain aint woth it

You have to unbolt the lower inspection cover on the trans and unbolt the torque converter bolts. Watch my video on removing a crv transmission. I show how to do it. Make shure u support the trans too.

Wrench life 604 thank you so much. Car is up and running
