they are only making 2700 6 speed CL's in its first year... most or all of them are probably already spoken for. I am not sure if the 03 Accord tranny would fit, but thats not gonna be available for a while yet. You'll probably have to hold your ass for a while untill wrecked 03 CL-S's start showing up... which might not be too far down the road judging how ****in fast they are!!

One thing to keep in mind... either way, it'll be EXPENSIVE... those trannies are in HUGE demand... everyone that has a 6 cylinder honda and knows the value of a manual wants that tranny.

 

Thanks for te info!

 

Don't even try a manual tranny swap with the 5 speed auto sport shift...... you'll need a new ECU, tachometer, sending units, and a whole slew of other mods, not to mention that once you take that car appart so far, you'll NEVER get it back as tight. Don't forget, you have traction control and the 6 speed doesn't. It has a HLSD, which the auto doesn't have. My suggestion is to just trade it for a CL-S six speed. You can find them. Call around. I'm sure they're not all sold out. I know for a fact they arent selling as hot as Honda thought they would.

 

too much trouble. Tell him to sell it and get a 2003 6-speed.

 

I went down to the local acura dealership and they had to 03 6 speeds sitting there. I think the MSRP on it was like 31550....even cheaper than our 01 auto when we bought it. I asked the sales guy and they said they'd take the msrp and i could take it home today. We got our 01 auto for 32750 drive out and it had navi/tint too Raped em good one the deal...
