Greetings all
I have a 1992 Accord Ex-r (CND)
has almost 230K on her and goin strong.

Just finished sinking money of new rubber Tokico struts suspension etc,
and I think its time for a new engine or tranny.

I love my car and would rather sink some $ into it instead of having a new car payment :P

MY MPG has dropped about 5mpg ( Im hopping its due to my valves needing ajustment)
Lately has been tough getting into first gear without rocking it kinda rough at a stop. if I "Granny drive" it the shifting is smooth, but as soon as there is torque it has resistance into 2nd and somtimes grinds into 3rd and 5th when "punching it".

I have been told its probably the syncro gears and Ill need a new tranny.
I wonder if I should spend the extra $ and just find a 95 JDM h22 with a tranny and plop that in.

Has anyone weighed the labor cost in replacing\rebuilding a tranny vs engine swap??
Immediatly Im goint to get the valves adjusted and tarnny fluid changed and maybee a clutch fluid flush and see how bad teh shifting is. but after all that and im still getting annoyed, time to look for a new engine??

Sigh

i had my tranny go... and thats what it did, shifting started getting hard and grinding, then it started poping out of 5th (syncors) then it started poping out of 3rd... and on the way to the shop my tranny froze at 55mph and locked my fron wheel... it was bad. it cost nearly 400 to get the tranny in but for a new tranny which is probably a good idea if you really want the car to be with you a while, its gonna be $1,000+. hope that helps

also try seaching the fourm cause there are a few i know of that talk about good and bad in using the H22 tranny with F series engine

can anyone driect me to someone who has doen this?

Thanks

Hmmm just drove it and some times @ the lights the tranny is butter smooth in every gear and others is rough.. wonder if its my tarnny or clutch fluid and not syncros.
