    Lightbulb Prelude 5 speed swap?

    Hello All,
    Will an 84-87 Prelude Si 5 speed tranny fit in an 88 Accord Lxi? Are there any mods
    needed?
    Are the gear ratio's the same? I want to keep the Lxi gear ratio for highway driving.
    All responses are appreciated.
    Thanks, Todd

    I think the ratios are in the FAQ....dont quote me though...

    It should be a bolt and go however, since both cars use the a20.
    Accord has been replaced with a 2004 Solara SE Sport with 3.3 VVT-i V6...man does that car move...

    My friend owns an '87 Si, and he says that the rear motor/transmission mount is slightly different, but that may be because of the Prelude's engine bay. They do use the A30A engines, so it should be a bolt and go issue.
