    no no no no.. you use all teg gears except 5th you use the accord 5th.. you can also get 2nd gen prelude gears...in order of quickest gear ratios would be (from shortest to tallest) Teg gears, 2nd gen lude gears, 3gee lx-i/se-i gears, 3gee dx/lx gears, theres the rundown on that...

    you CAN add a LSD if you want but no actual kit is made for it (if i remember right) i know a turbo guy on here is running a lsd but i forgot who

    Oh yes, LSD would dramatically impact performance.

    ...oh wait, you mean "limited slip differential" don't you? Sorry. That's my bad...

    Correct. You will also need the shafts and diff. You can actually use everything from the teg trans except the bellhousing and shift rod. 86-87 and 88-89 pilot shaft widths correspond to the same years of accord, so get the right one. Swap is pretty easy once you get over the fear of disassembling a tranny.

    Re: trans-mods

    Did our accords have an intermediate shaft?
    It's been a while since I've owned one.
