What kind of tranny is this? - Honda Prelude Forum

I have a spare 5sp tranny, that a friend gave to me a while back. He got it off some guy saying it was from a lude. I'm wondering if its even from a H series, maybe from the F series. There's no serial number on it and I really don't want to take it apart and count the gears to match it up. Anyone have an idea which one it it?

Sorry for the horrible camera quality

Looks like a tranny for H/F engine, they both look the same.

Yea it does bolt straight up, but I'm trying to figure out which one it is without having to take it apart and counting the gear ratios.

When you're done you can use the gear ratio master list in the FAQ here on on honda-tech to determine the gearbox. If it has an open diff then you'll at least be able to see the pinion going through the center of the differential when looking into it so then you can rule out JDM transmissions as most of them come with LSD's.
