ive got a question,

ive found an incredible deal on a 2001 acura tl type s automatic/manual shifter colum. if i was to buy this, would there be a way, that i could swap out my stock shifter and replace it with the acura one? basicaly, i want to know whether its the shifter unit that needs to be upgraded, or the entire transmition so that id be able to gain the use of the automatic/manual function.
