Prelude 5 speed swap?

[tea102]

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.

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.
