I've done it....but still not an exact answer... my question is.....is the f22 tranny swap 5speed a bad choice for the lube yes or no.... my auto tranny is gone.. so am swapping to 5 speed and have the tranny in my garage....but is it a good choice for now.... am planning to build my head into a skunk2 after I do that, then I go on getting a better tranny feel me ppl.......... also anyone can lead me to wat I need to complete my swap to 5 speed. Thank u

It'll work fine for now, and get you get some great gas mileage but you the power output is going to suck due to the longer gearing of F22 trannys. I don't know much about doing the actual swap but I'm sure if you google "prelude 5 speed swap" you'll get some info. Hope that helped a little.

WTH IS A LUBE DUDE I WANT TO KICK YOUR ASS! The f22 tranny will be perfect get it. It's better than the crapy auto

Try to get one built with the Prelude's final drive of 4.266. The 4th and 5th are tall in the F22 trannys especialy the accord ones. The best one for shorter gears of the F22 family is the 4th gen Prelude F22. It had a shorter 4th and 5th gear then the accords. If you use the preludes final drive the long gears won't be as noticable in 1st-3rd; 4th and 5th will get you good mileage poor accel.

If your going to have a beast of an engine then having longer gears will benefit you

Yes, do the swap. It will be so much better than the auto box.

try it out. You should get in the 30's mpg wise

Idk what performance work you have done but the accord 5 speed will control some wheel spin.
