Hooray for my first post.
I've got two 2.5g accords, my first an '85 LX (rusting through about twelve cans of rust converter, primer, and rustoleum) which I want to keep running, and the second, a parts car, an '84 LX sans starter.
I'd left the '85 sitting for a long time after the battery went to hell on me (winter here is rough) and bought the '84 after it sat an equally long time (nearly a year). The '84's tranny is shot - been open to the weather without the starter, and needed a throwout bearing anyway before I ground the gears out to the field where it's sitting now.
My actual question: Can I take the tranny from the '86 prelude ET2 I found in the scrapyard and bolt it right onto my amazing ES2's? Aside from the missing starter, which I can swap over, my parts car is in overall better shape than my trusty old '85. If it can't take the prelude tranny, I'll have to resort to one of the other three or four 2.5g tranny's in the yard.. just thought it'd be nice to have the option.
And seriously, if anybody needs parts for a 2.5g, there's more at the junkyard than I can use. I only see one or two other MOVING 2.5g's around town.
So much for introductions. I've searched, but never found an exact answer to this question. I'm pretty sure it'll be okay.. mostly worried about which arm and leg the guys at the yard will want in exchange.
