How good are 1999 prelude triptronic autos?
 

How good are the triptronic (i think that is how you spell it) transmissions? I have a chance of getting a 99 for $12500. Oh yeah I also found a 2001 civic ex for $10900

hello, my name is I have alot of money, and I would like to give most of it to kyle.


I have no idea, go to a board with richer members and you could probably find out.

what are you looking for? If the prelude is the SH model, jump on it. that was a good production year.

The autos suck ass. A friend of mine was running 9 psi on his auto H22 lude and the tranny took a dive. If you buy it, expect to put a 5 speed in it if you want to make serious power.

No i don't have a lot of money but I just sold my turbo civic and have money for the downpayment and work for a bank and was approved at 3.0%. I test drove the prelude and it is pretty cool. I have never driven a sport shift auto. its just like a stick with no clutch. i think i may pick it up. No mods on this one.

The people i know that have one had no problems with it but it was stock. there is a bit of hesitation in the shifting when you are in triptonic but its no horrible. Its a fun car to ride and drive. I would say jump on it.

Damn for that much money you can probably get a civic si, gsr, or some kind of vtec with manual tranny, .....now were talking!!!

anything without a clutch pedal is gay in my book. dont buy it, you will hate it forever. all it is is an automatic with frosting on top, still has a torque converter, still doesnt have a clutch, still cant do burnouts. not worth it at ALL.
