And I am planning on importing a JDM H22a1 full engine swap.
2006-12-11 10:51:40 · update #1
I have experience with this, I swapped out my auto to a 5spd in my 91 prelude. And if you're getting a JDM H22, the engine code is H22A, not H22A1. Any number after the second letter tells you that it is not JDM.
These are some things that you will need...
Jack with jackstands...you'll need to figure out if you're gonna remove the auto tranny from above or below the car, so you might want a cherry picker as well. The auto tranny weighs a hell of alot more than the 5spd
5spd tranny w/starter
shift cable linkages
shifter
master cylinder
slave cylinder
lower clutch line
clutch pressure regulator
clutch pedal set
tranny mounts...you would need a rear 5spd tranny mount as the autos dont have one.
shifter cable bracket
clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing.
flywheel w/flywheel bolts
You might need a 5spd halfshaft (intermediate shaft) but i'm not sure with your generation lude...
you will also need a new lower radiator hose, they are different lengths. You need to relocate the battery ground wire, and get a new heater core return hose.
I also had to drill through the frame, because the auto tranny mounts differently than the 5spd. It's not a big deal, the location of where you need to drill is right next to the auto holes. You will need 4 grade 8 bolts and nuts.
In order to get the pedals in, you will need to unbolt the steering shaft and drop it down from the dash....idk if im forgetting something....
You'll need lots of time and patience, you should do a lot of research before doing this swap. Good luck!

Buy one that came with a manual transmission. It's a pain to change everything out that needs to be changed out. If you cannot do it yourself, it will cost you an arm, a leg and your first child. Maybe more than the car is worth.

first you better make sure there,s a place in the end of the crank for a pilot bearing because with a manual you will need a pilot bearing in the crank ! it,s not worth the effort and money to change it over !

Depends what you are converting,just some of the thing's you will have to think about,Flywheel,driveshaft,differential,trans mounts,is the crankshaft able to accept a pilot bearing for the input shaft.

More trouble than its worth. Its just better to buy a vehicle based on driving preferences with the option already equiped

I was in the process of getting it done, but I opted to throw in more g's for a tranny/engine combo. If you're getting it done, you might as well jack up your power with a better engine coupled with its manual tranny. Almost no one will guarantee that a tranny from elsewhere will work with your engine.

It requires taking out the automatic transmission and putting in a manual transmission, complete with new gear linkings, a stick shift, clutch, etc, etc.
