Reliability of 2003 6 MT?
Hey guys. I'm in the market to buy a new car. I really like the 2nd gen CL, particularly, the 2003 CL Type-S with a 6 speed manual. Now, I know that the transmissions in the CL are notorious for failure. I heard that the manual transmission, only offered in 03 are more reliable. Could someone with a 03 6mt give me their experiences?
Much Thanks, Yanni

200k miles original clutch no problems, my buddy has a boosted cl no problems, the 6mt will last the auto won't. Are you sure you read the forums cause there are plenty of posts saying there are no issues with the manuals.

But while you're at it, you'll want to replace the:
* input shaft bearing, input shaft bearing seal (about $40)
* 1-2 synchro sleeve / synchros
* 5-6 synchro sleeve / synchros
It's about $600-700 in parts.
