1997 Used Honda Transmissions For Sale

1997 is the del Sol's final model year and the last year of the fifth-generation Accord, and it is the first year of the fifth-generation Prelude — three boundaries on one page. It is also the only year in our 1990s Honda stock where the listings state real case codes: two del Sol automatics carry M24A and S24A. Every unit here is a stepped automatic or a manual. Text your VIN and we confirm in writing which of the 17 units fits before you pay.

Why Buy a 1997 Honda Transmission from Auto Power Source

Every 1997 Honda transmission we list is a real unit on a real shelf, inspected and recorded before it goes on the site. We do not list a gearbox we cannot put our hands on, and the count at the top of this page is the live count of units in stock today, not a catalogue of what the model year could theoretically carry.

Three model boundaries land in 1997 and each one changes which part you need. The del Sol ends here — 1997 is the last year it was built. The Accord ends its fifth generation here on the 2.2L, and the 1998 car is a sixth-generation 2.3L with a different transaxle. The Prelude goes the other way: 1997 is the first fifth-generation car, so a 1996 Prelude is the generation before and not the same part.

The del Sol listings are worth reading carefully, because the yard labelled them three different ways. Some units are listed as Civic, some under a combined Civic del Sol label, and three are listed as del Sol on their own. We have kept each listing under the label it actually carries rather than merging them into a tidy guess, and the Fits column says which label each row came from.

Two of those del Sol automatics state a real case code — M24A on one, S24A on the other. That is unusual in 1990s Honda stock, where most listings give only AT or MT, and it is the most reliable interchange key you can have. If you can read the code off your own unit, send it with your VIN and the match is settled in one step.

Everything ships with the same warranty and the same money-back terms as the rest of our catalogue, and our ASE-certified technicians confirm the match against your VIN before a unit leaves the shelf. Text +1-307-441-5554, call 1-877-313-8995, or email info@autopowersource.com and we answer with the specific unit, not a maybe.

Your 1997 Honda Transmission Options: Compared

Most 1997 Honda owners face four real choices when the transmission fails:

← Swipe sideways to see all columns →
Option Cost Reliability Warranty Fitment Match
Used OEM (this collection) $$$ Best Value High — tested Included VIN-matched
New OEM (dealer) $$$$$ 2-4× more High Manufacturer Exact
Aftermarket / Reman $$$$ Varies 6-12 mo May adapt
Junkyard $ Cheapest Unknown None DIY

Tested used OEM hits the sweet spot — same engineering as new, fraction of the cost.

1997 Honda Transmission Buying Guide

5 things to verify before buying a used 1997 Honda transmission:

  1. Settle automatic or manual first. Every 1997 Honda unit we hold is listed as AT or MT, and that is the hardest line in the catalogue. The bell housing, the mounts and the shift provision all change. If you are not certain which your car left the factory with, your VIN answers it.
  2. Read the case code if the listing gives one. The two del Sol automatics state M24A and S24A. Where a code is stamped it beats every other description, so check it against your own unit before anything else.
  3. On an Accord or Prelude, check the generation. 1997 is the last fifth-generation Accord and the first fifth-generation Prelude. A 1998 Accord and a 1996 Prelude are both the other side of a generation line and take different units.
  4. Do not assume Civic and del Sol parts are interchangeable. These listings carry three different model labels, and the trim and VTEC spec behind each one differs. A unit that bolts up is not the same thing as a unit that is geared for your car.
  5. Confirm the match with your own VIN before you order. Your VIN settles the transmission code, drivetrain and build split in one step. Text it to +1-307-441-5554 and we will confirm in writing exactly which unit fits your vehicle before you pay.

Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any unit ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many 1997 Honda transmissions do you have in stock?
Seventeen, as of this page's last inventory refresh: six under the combined Civic del Sol label, three listed as Civic, three listed as del Sol, three Prelude, and one each for the Accord and Odyssey. The number in the header is the live active count, not a model-year catalogue.
Why are del Sol units listed under three different names?
Because that is how the listings came in. Some units are labelled Civic, some Civic del Sol, and three del Sol on their own. We kept each row under the label it carries instead of merging them, since the trim and VTEC spec behind each one is not identical. Your VIN tells us which you need.
What are the M24A and S24A codes?
They are the case codes stamped on two of the del Sol automatics. Where a listing states a code it is the most reliable interchange key available, far better than a year-and-model description. The two are different parts.
Will a 1998 Accord transmission fit my 1997 Accord?
No. 1997 is the last fifth-generation Accord on the 2.2L engine, and 1998 is the first sixth-generation car on the 2.3L with its own transaxle. Consecutive years, different parts.
Will a 1996 Prelude transmission fit my 1997?
No. 1997 is the first fifth-generation Prelude. A 1996 car is the fourth generation and takes a different unit, so a listing spanning both years is describing two parts.
Are any 1997 Honda transmissions CVTs?
No. Honda sold no CVT in the 1997 line-up we stock, so every unit on this page is either a conventional stepped automatic or a manual gearbox.
Is the 1997 Odyssey transmission the same as the 1998?
They are both first-generation four-cylinder vans, but the listings differ: the 1997 unit states 2.2L and the 1998 states 2.3L. Send your VIN and we will confirm which one your van takes rather than assuming the years interchange.
What warranty comes with a 1997 Honda transmission?
The same warranty and money-back terms as every other unit we ship, with the coverage stated in writing before you pay. Our ASE-certified technicians verify the unit against your VIN first. Call 1-877-313-8995 or email info@autopowersource.com for the written terms.

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process

Every 1997 Honda transmission we ship has been through these six steps:

1. VIN-Matching
We match the donor VIN to your VIN to confirm the case code, engine pairing, and FWD vs AWD transfer output.
2. Tested & Verified
ASE-certified technicians Shift-Test every gear under load. CVT units get a fluid-condition and belt inspection; 2003–2009 V6 automatics are checked for torque-converter shudder.
3. Noise & Smoke Verification
Units are run to verify normal mechanical sound and clean operation — catches internal wear static tests miss.
4. Visual Inspection
Every accessible component is inspected: turbos, manifolds, valve covers, housings, accessories, sensor harnesses.
5. Photograph & Catalog
Multi-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship for your approval.
6. Palletize & Ship
Strapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.

Our Photos-Before-Shipment Guarantee

Before any transmission leaves our warehouse, we send you multi-angle photographs. You approve. If you do not approve, you get every dollar back — no questions, no restocking fees, no return freight charges. On top of 30-day money-back and the warranty included with every unit.
