Swapping to a Manual

I want to swap the '99 3.0 CL from an AT to a MT and was curious if anyone had any input. I am also curious in a possible engine swap if you want to put in your 2 cents on that as well. Thanks for looking.

you'll need the Acura CL 01+ tranny to do this swap and a lot of job to do. I have the complete part list somewhere. Someone already did this swap on Accord 98-02.

Also, as for swap, you could swap a J32 TypeS engine.

J32 with 6 speed tranny would drop in, you will need to modify the firewall as well as wire everything

The wiring for the swap is frustrating and stressful. not to mention expensive if you don't do the swap yourself. On top of that. the engine doesn't clear the hood to close. if you look at cocoa's car the hood is bent.
