In Desperate need of a A20A4 compatible transmission

[RustyRustler]

Well all I can say is I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon.

The story in short is my manual transmission exploded at 156,000 miles after putting on only 7000 in the last 7-8 months. I don't think this was my fault, but I was under the impression that these power plants and accessories can survive for 300,000. Anyway the car is a 1987 Honda accord Aerodeck with the A20A4. I bloody love the car and its charm so i don't really want this to be an excuse for a b20 swap so i'm just putting it out there that I am in search of a 5 spd manual transmission that will fit and last me a bit longer . This is the first time I have posted anything, so I hope it wont be the last depending on whether I find a gearbox.

I sent you a PM. Honestly I won't be surprised if you decide not to go for it since it's $1100 shipped from me here on the other side of the USA.

Have you tried sourcing one from around you? I know they sold quite a few of these in Western Europe?

They're getting scarce. I had a hard time finding mine several years ago. Have you guys tried mantrans.com yet?

A2Q5 and A2K5 transmissions are all that fit. One is the family sedan long gears. Other is from a Prelude SI with very short gears. The SI trans is awesome until you drive on the interstate. 4K RPMs in fifth gear @70mph does suck.
