Prelude Tranny

i have a 1986 prelude si with the 2.0. i broke an axle on the inside and as the wheel was spinning the axle was spinning too and smashed a hole in my tranny. being that the car was a piece of shit, i just drove it that way for about 7 months. then as i was driving on the highway, 5th gear exploded as well as reverse. being that the car was a piece of shit, i just drove it THAT way for another 3 months. now the car has been sitting since my freshman year down at semo and if i can find a cheap tranny, ill just replace it because the motor only has 60k on it. i need to know what transmissions will bolt up to that motor. or if anyone with a transmission wants the car let me know, 100$.

if it's a single cam motor (I dont remember off the top of my head) you are looking for any 'a-series' transmission... this means any prelude like yours, or any 86-89 accord. the difference will be that the accord gears are longer than the prelude gears, but for a beater/daily driver, the accord gears will do just fine.

how do i know if its a single cam? the motor has been replaced by a buddy of mine. so i should look around for an accord tranny because there are more of them.

the accord trannies only work on the single cam motors... easiest way to identify the single cams (a-series) from the dual cam (the bastard b20a) is to look at the motor. If the spark plugs are on top and in the middle of the valve cover, its a b20. if the wires run to the front of the head and not the valve cover, its an a-series. Accord trannies only work on the a-series.
