Ok i found out that i need a new tranny or at least a rebuilt one.. i have a 93 4WS Lude.. Its an H23 will eventually do a h22 swap.. so i just really wanna know whats the best tranny to go with.. i also hoping to go turbo next year so i just want a good and strong tranny dont really know much about tranny's so please any help and or opinions are welcomed.. Thanks

 

So am guessing any transmission is hey-oh kay... come on.. help a luder out...

 

I don't know exaclty what you want to know, if you mean should you go with an auto or a stick, definitley go with a stick.

 

What i need to know is if there are diffrent types of manual transmissions as in, like a Jap. tranny to a U.S tranny.. if theres a diffrence is one stronger than another... wich one is the best...

 

Well, most JDM transmissions come with or can be had with a factory LSD. I would reccommend finding one that has. A JDM Type S tranny isn't stronger thatn a U.S. one, but the gearing is different. Is that better? Depends on what you will use the car for, how you will drive it, and what mods you are planning on making to your engine. Really, the best way to answer your question, by asking what do you want from your car, NA, Turbo, or Nitrous. A U.S. and JDM tranny will both handle alot of the smae horsepower, and really most will handle around 300 whp, its the torque curve that can cause problems.

 

just fyi, the type s tranny has atts so it won't work. I think the regular ol H22 M2Y4 tranny is the best for the price and performance. they're not bulletproof and they all have the same synchro issues, but as far as the gearing is concerned, it's the best option that doesn't cost way too much money.

there's also the M2B4 which is the JDM 4th Gen SIR-G tranny (i think) which has similar gear ratios and a factory LSD. There's the Accord Euro R tranny that has an LSD and closer gear ratios for better accel, but they're rare and expensive.

if you're going turbo you'll eventually need a LSD, but it'd prob be cheaper to buy a quaife and throw it into the h22 tranny, or maybe not...i forget how much the m2b4's go for these days.

 

Yes, this is correct, thank you, someone who knows what they are talking about.

 

MMM hhh thanks fellas.. noe refresh my memory on LSD and what exactly it does again.. dont quiet member.. also this atts .. whats that do.. well after i do my h22 swap.. i really dont plan much except for maybe few other engine mods.. No turbo for now i look for more perfomance as in torque and handling.. but yeah this tranny issue does happen alot to 4th gen'rs... as well as ABS and brake issues.... thanks for all the help..

 

I'm new to preludes but not cars I assume LSD means limited slip differential, the limited slip or posi puts power to both drive wheels vs. only one wheel spining. You also want to look at gearing, a hight numerically gear, you launch faster but will run out of top end speed. ATTS I've read you dont want for a highly modified motor that the extra clutches wear out. Also as far as turbos go usually you want a auto, the torque converter will keep the turbo spooled up during gear changes. Now if a Honda auto can handle the power I dont know. And when building a motor its also my understanding that you keep the compression low for a turbo or supercharger, like 8 to 1 vs. stock VTEC of 10 to 1. Allows you to run more boost. just my 2 cents

 

RX-2. Old school. :eek3:Limited slip is the proper name, Posi is the GM trade name... it's the difference between "soda" and "Coke." Try to stick to "Limited Slip" or "LSD" because most guys around here would have no idea what you're talking about if you say Posi or Positraction.Not really.
