2003 Acura cl 3.2 base/transmission swap

Has anybody done a successful transmission swap with the 2nd gen cl? I heard about the odyssey & Honda av6 accord transmissions. When I talk to multiple local mechanics they tell me it’s absolutely not going to work. I need advice ASAP I’ll get rid of the car if becomes stressful.

AV6 is most ideal.. 06-07 specifically.

They were telling me that the car can only take the Mgfa transmission that came with the car, I guess all the shops have that computer with all the data.I want to be 100% on this, I just don’t have the time or money to waste.

I found a few videos on YouTube about av6 done on 2gen TL
wasnt sure if they have the same program as the cl.
the gears ratios won’t be irregular by doing this?

If you check my post about this matter, you'll find out that you can use a 06 base TL transmission. That's what is Currently installed on my 01 CL-P.
