Accord tran won't work on the TL because TL has SS mode while Accord just a regular AT with no SS mode.

I would be wary of the accord as the accord has less power than the TL and perhaps lighter duty components.
DW1 is the new ATF fluid that acura uses instead of Z1. I suggest you use this to break in the trans and switch over to a better fluid in a few thousand miles.

Installed trans today... I will finish up tomorrow and let you guys know how it drives. The trans was almost identical to a tl. The only thing I had to swap was range sensor mini harness. The plug on harness that plugs to tl harness was a little different but where it plugs to range sensor was the same. So just swap harness and thats the only difference.

ok guys finished trans job today!!!!!!!!!!! Im so happy with the results trans shifts so smooth and ss mode works great. Everything was the same minus mini jumper harness that you just swap out. So if anyone needs a auto trans you now have the option to get 06-07 accord trans for your 3gen tl.

Poody did you take any pictures ? So all of the transmission mounting are the same? This is good to know. Give us a long term report after you run many thousands of miles.

I'm about to do this swap in a few weeks for my wife's 02 TL-S .
She's on the second AT that was swapped out by Acura under warranty at 107k miles. Funny part is that she's only put less than 25k miles on the new Acura transmission and it's starting to have the 3rd Gear shudder under moderate acceleration or while going up hills.
Quick question:
Is it any 06-07 AV6 Transmission that will be compatible? Coupe or sedan alike?

awesome, I am glad it work out for you BTW did you did the 3rd and 4th pressure switch while the trany was out?

I have a couple pics of trans side by side they are identical. Yes all of the mounting brackets are the same,even the ones under trans that bolt to cradle. I've put about 150 on it today work a hour away. Its shift like butter so happy with it and it was so much cheaper then a tl trans. I will update when I put a few thousand on it.

Reviving an old thread for a status update.
Also can you explain the below statement further? Did you buy a new range sensor harness from Honda or was this something that came with the new Accord tranny?

I have done this swap in my 2000 and now have 25000 miles on the swap. There is another second gen member with around 50000 on his second gen. I know a person that swap the av6 transmission into his 05 tl and he is probably around 15-20k miles in his with no issues

Any updates on this??? I'm looking at either rebuilding my tranny in the '04 TL or swapping out for the 06-07 AV6 tranny. Any updates or advice are greatly appreciated!

If you have the early 04 tran I would get a good reliable 06 tranny cause it would have the updated casing for better fluid channeling for lube and better "cooling" supposedly. The early 04 trans had that oil jet retrofit thingy.

I might be doing this on my 04 TL. Other than the range sensor harness, is there anything else you need to swap over? Should I change the 3rd and 4th gear switches or just leave the honda ones??

Also a high stall torque converter built by IPT performance would probably be beneficial. They're the ones that did Libert's TC on his turbo 5AT TL.
