I'm thinking on getting a new transmission. Mines about to go out. Right now i have a 97 base model with a h22a swap in it. The transmission never got swapped though so it's the original that was on the car. I was wondering if i should just get a oem replacement or if i should get a jdm one.

1997- vti prelude's own gearbox is pretty good. and you can always buy there some LSD like aftermarket lock if you want to
but if you can get M2Z4 it could be nice
Now, what the hell makes you think you need to swap your transmission? The only way I can see you saying that is if you currently have a Sissy-Stick.

I don't have a ss. I know for a fact i need to replace my syncros for 5th and 2nd. And i have a at least one bering that is shot on the inside of it. The tranny has about 240k on it

T2W4 all the way, well that is if you got cash to blow. Trust me, bouckaroo may chime in on this too, huge increase in acceleration and has a helical LSD.
You could fix yours and change the FD and diff but it would cost you about the same as a new one and that's if you did it yourself, paying someone would cost too much. Working on manual transmissions are pretty easy though if you wanna rebuild.

krhm, why to get T2W4 when M2Z4 is better?
It has shorter 2, 3 and 4 gear
M2Z4 3.285 1.956 1.344 1.034 0.812 3.000 4.266 with LSD JDM Prelude SiR S-spec 97-01
T2W4 3.285 2.090 1.481 1.071 0.812 3.000 4.266 with LSD JDM Accord Euro R
Dude. Stop. The M2Z4 has the same gearing as the USDM Preludes. The T2W4 is the one with shorter gears. (The lower the #, the taller the gear).
And quit basing stuff on an incomplete and possibly inaccurate (I haven't checked it) list.

but still, calculate how much that new transmission costs and compare it to fixing your old one... then you can see that is it really worth it. Like I said there is also aftermarket locks to your old one.
T2W4 and the U2Q7 are the closest geared transmissions for the H, main reason why I think it's worth it because if you change out the FD to get something similar to it using the base trans you'll also reduce the 5th gear really hurting gas mileage. With the T2W4 you can have the best of both worlds, short gears and the same 5th as the base transmissions.

lol i spent allot of money on my t2w4 but it came with very little mileafe, like 8000 some odd kilometers and i also had to pay shipping from tokyo as well as duty at teh border whenit got to winterland. Total was almost 2000 bucks, but def worth it. If your broke ass and need a cheapo then jsut get whatever fits but teh t2t4 fromt eh sir b accords is a rgeat trans also and is only about 800 bucks or so form hmotors.
i went with m2b4 cuz i'm not a baller to buy the t2w4. i picked it up out of classifieds and paid a lot less then a rebuild. keep an eye out and you might find something decent. then again, with a used tranny you never know what you'll get, so that is also a crap shoot
