Do you know how many defective auto trannies are out there. Get on ************.com and the people will tell you that the prelude auto tranny sucks. My friend works at honda and when I got my car i test drove a auto prelude, it's all-right but I didn't get it. I raced my buddy with the dealerships 2001 civic ex against the auto lude that i was driving and the civic pulled on me everytime. 5 sp all the way.
You'll be swapping in the prelude axles so there shouldn't be any problems with them snapping.
Only difference in usdm h22 and the type-s is higher compression, different intake and exhuast cams to utilize the type-s's big bore throttle body and velocity stack upper intake piping. Also different headers. That's it though. I've seen h22a del sols and hatches and none of them had problems with chassis flex or under/over steer.
