If you are worried about running into problems with the automatic transmission, you can either do a 5speed manual transmission swap or sell your Prelude and buy another with a manual transmission.
If you are interested in doing a 5speed swap, look at this information thats posted on a local Prelude club.
VancouverPreludeClub.net ? View topic - 5 spd Swap

I posted this info on Revscene as well. A few other members were asking about auto transmissions.
