Question about prelude trans.

[crwa]

I'm doing the auto. to 5-speed swap and decided to use the prelude si tranny from the 84-87 model.

I was wondering where is a good place to find one? Can you buy rebuild ones from transmission shops or do you have to go to salvage yards to get ahold of them?

And also about how much do they sell for?

And these trannys bolt right in correct? No mods needed or special parts with the exception of a mount and the other needed swap parts right???

So far I have picked up a shift boot, knob, ordered a brand new driver side cv drive axel for the manual trans., and an exedy clutch kit and oem throw out bearing... And tomorrow I'm gonna go get a trans. mount... So would I ask for one for a preludy or an accord, accord is what I'm think, but if I'm wrong let me know so I can get the right part...

What I would do is get a tranny from a junkyard for about $150 and have it rebuilt.
You are gonna have to make some calls to yards and get some pricing estimates to tranny shops.
