Compatible Transmission Options

The F23A pairs with several Honda transmissions from the same generation. Choosing the right one depends on your driving preference and the chassis you are working with.

Automatic Transmission

The BAXA and MCJA are the most common automatic options for 1998 to 2002 Accord 2.3L builds. Both are 4-speed units and bolt directly to the F23A. They handle daily driving well and are easy to source as JDM pulls.

• BAXA: fits the CG and CL chassis of the Accord

• MCJA: common in later 2000 to 2002 applications

• Smooth shifts and reliable for stock power levels

Manual Transmission

If you want more control, the S4XA 5-speed manual is the go-to choice. It is a direct bolt-on for the F23A and works well in both Accord and compatible Odyssey builds.

• S4XA 5-speed: most popular manual match for the F23A

• Stronger driver engagement and better fuel economy at highway speeds

• Good option if you are doing a manual swap

What to Check Before You Buy

Not every transmission pulled from the same year will match your axles or ECU. Keep these points in mind:

• Match the transmission to your exact chassis code (CG, CL, or CF)

• Verify the 1997 Honda Accord transmission code on your current unit before swapping

• Confirm axle compatibility with your mechanic before ordering
