Hey Im Daniel and lets say Im very new to the prelude, not that many of you might be happy but basically I'm currently in the process of buying a prelude 2.2 vtec to strip for the engine and a few bits to slap into a kit car as such .....
Iv got a few questions but currently Carnt post anywhere so ill post them on here and see what you think ...

It currently has an auto box (98 - prelude) and I won't wont to convert to a manual but Where can I get a gear linkage from? Will shifter towers and linkage from any other honda fit?? I no ill need a few new parts as Iv done some reasearch BUT will the auto shafts fit the manual box??

Thanks all

Ahh right.. No the auto box is perfect but as the engine is being used for a kit car I'm changing it to a manual.. Do I need to change the shafts for the lengths or is it the inner CVs as the drive shafts are being shortened and joined to others

as you have probably already read the passenger shaft on a manual has an intermediate shaft instead of a single shaft
