Maybe the 7G Accord 6 speed. This was the only application of a J30/6 speed that I know of. Not sure if a TL tranny would work.


You will need to use a different ECU, and the Accord 6-6 ECU is DBW, so you'd have that to contend with too.

The closest fit would be to use the 6-Speed from a 2G CL (the engine size difference is irrelevant). That said, it will cost you a heck of a lot less to simply sell your car and use the proceeds to buy a 2G CL with the 6MT already in it.
