mike it depends on what tranny... I'm looking at a chart here with about 10 different tranny that can bolt to the h22 motor. most guys that swap h22's into hatches or whatever, almost 95% or more of them have m2a4 or a m2f4 or the m2y4 trannies which are not racing trannies IMO. which I agree with you are SHIT! But if they ever tried T2T4 or U2Q4 or T2WA (and a couple of other's I won't list) it more than likely would be a different story...
