oooo i like this thread ...because.... here were i live there arent any others TLs ( i think mine is the only one ) but theres plenty of civics and accords so if something happens to my car i can use the others cars parts =D

dieguinone

excuse me , what does "non-SH" stands for?

Go90go

There was a Prelude Type-SH in that generation. The rotors from that particular model won't fit on our cars, but the "regular" Prelude rotors will.

~Cheers~

dieguinone

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you =)

Ken1997TL

Prelude SH = Super Handling

It had ATTS (Automatic Torque Transfer System) that would power the outside front wheel more in a sharp corner.

Capricho

rear view mirror identical to early '90's Accords

hey guys the parts that you have posted they are compatible with any year 3.2 TL?

i mean it doesnt matter if i have a 1996 3.2 TL or a 1998 3.2TL? are they compatible for both models or for any first gen models?

johnnyhonda3.2

These will fit anything 1st gen 3.2tl, unless it is specified for 2.5tl

mtbr64

for the 2.5 tl
90-97 accord front and rear struts.

this means u can use coilovers for an accord on your tl i suggest getting some with a stiffer spring rate because our cars are heavier

Following up on something here...

On the front suspension - are you trying to say 4 dr Sedan?

Reason is that I just tried the 4 door shocks, and they do not fit the 3.2 TL because of the diameter of the bottom of the shock.

My local yard has a 92 2 door Legend, and I'm thinking about yanking the forks to see if they would fit. Any info would be appreciated.

Is there an online OEM Parts place that has diagrams and part numbers (like I have for BMW)? That would make it really nice...

...Never mind on the online parts - found it via Kens post in another thread.

teekay3001

so what particular shocks actually fit the 3.2TL then, if you really dont know then please do some research before posting because it could be very misleading and may have someone spend money buying an item that isnt really compatible with their vehicle

racerock

I guess you are asking a general question there because it is quite confusing. Like you suggest, I went and bought a pair of front shocks from a Legend based on someone elses post, and they do not fit a factory setup.

I am in the middle of figuring out a way to get them to fit, however.

So, for now, the only ones I know of that fit are ones from Acura - unfortunately.

NyRider

If the front shocks dont fit dose that also mean that the rear struts also dont fit

mtbr64

the accord struts are for the 2.5 only!!!!!!!!!!! they will not fit the 3.2

tcrow31

what shocks fit on the rear of a 3.2 other than stock??

NyRider

so basically there are no ? suspension components for the 3.2tl

Update on the Front Shocks:

-I was able to get the KYB Shocks for the Legend to fit a 3.2TL by using a pair of Shock Forks off a Legend Donar Car

-Direct bolt on.

teekay3001

WTF is a legend donar car?

Go90go

He meant Donor Car, or some parts car that's a Legend.

~Cheers~

racerock

DOH! spelling mistake

Yep, like go90go says, pull the forks out of a donor Legend (Junkyard, or whatever) to "donate" the forks for your car.

teekay3001

oh ok, i wasnt trynna be funny because there's still a whole lot that i dont know about this car or others, like i just found out today that they got a toyota that looks like the old GS300, that i never knew about, but thanks for clarifying that Go90go

Go90go

NP, m8.

Hello everybody,

I have been following this thread for some time to find out about replacement parts. I haven't had the need to post until now.

My 96 3.2TL needs front shocks and according to your information and experiences any 91-95 legend front shock would match. I would like to know if I have to pull them out of an at least 12 years old legend? Can't I just get KYB GR-2 or Monroe SensaTrac from a car parts store?

Go90go

You could if they made them...

~Cheers~

Advance auto sells KYB and Monroe, autozone sells Gabriel ultra shocks for 95 legend GS. The URL above doesn't work because of cookies. Check out for yourselves.

91-95 nsx calipers with 95 legend gs *coupe* front rotors

racerock

Well, you need to reread this thread a little closer (and look at my postings here and in other threads for the clues you seek).

I did a little more of a write up on another thread on how to get Legend Shocks to fit. It is not a direct bolt on, but very, very close.

racerock

Advance (advanceautoparts.com) had them at the best price when I bought mine.

hey just got a TL today, 2003 type-S non-navi, but the transmission box or caseing has a crack where all the oil leaked out, im trying to find out what transmissions would fit my car, does the tranny have to come form a type-S to fit mine? will 99 or 00 or 01 or 02 tranny fit my 03-S, thanks hoping to get these answers soon.

racerock

Talk about a non searching, random posting in the wrong forum not knowing what to ask first timer...

rdtx2005

i'll add mine findings:

Front Brake Rotors: 1991-1995 Legend Sedan
Air Conditioner Compressor: 1991-1995 Legend Sedan (Engine in the engine must look similar) and you need a slight modification
Alternator: 1995-1995 Legend Sedan (again, Engine must be facing the same way)

Go90go

We have the same engine, haha. Only difference is one's OBDI and the other OBDII.

~Cheers~

Go90go

Oh, I shoved Legend rear brake pads into the 3.2 calipers and they worked with a little massaging into the holder. They're slightly too long, but will get in.

~Cheers~

karma123

Will the 92-95 Vigor be my only option for engines for my 97 2.5TL?

rdtx2005

Vigor 5 spoke Rear Rotors may be the same
