I know there was some talk in here before about swapping a prelude tranny into an accord but i think that was a manual.
Does anyone know if the auto tranny from a prelude will fit in my car?

Yes, the 2.0 si tranny will fit. Dunno if its going to be geared any better though. Don't think anyone has ever posted its ratios.

What year would I be looking for and would it be a direct swap or do I need to grab some other things from the car it would be coming out of?
You should just need the trans (take a look at the wireing etc to make sure they are the same, I have never looked at one) and as long as its from a gen2 Si you should be fine.

We are talking Auto/Fuel Injected, right? That's great to hear.
I have an 89 Accord LX, and my auto went out in it, so I took a prelude tranny out of a same year car, and dang what a pain to install, axles are different lengths, throw on the shifter is different, shift cable didn't reach shifter anymore. It was a lot of work, cant wait to try her out - been in the shop over a month since it got far too technical for me.

Sold to someone who won't take care of it... may she rest in peace.
And to think, she was only 80,000 miles young!

An 89 plrelude tranny shouldn't have fit at all. Thats a gen3 lude with a b20a3/5/or something, completely diferent. The Preludes stoped coming with a20a3, and hence a tranny that we can use in 87.

Well, does anybody know if the ratio is any better for the prelude or am i better off just sticking with a accord tranny?
