You can answer your own questions, cross referencing FW & clutch set part #'s, by just going to the clutchmasters website and research for the CL-S6:

It's kind of a dumb question that I asked I should have just taken more time to look because of that I look stupid.
No, I don't think you look stupid and it's good to ask questions.
However, a lot of these questions, though, have been answered here, but they are buried in the bowels of this forum, believe me.
You need the FW that has the crank sensor triggers that only the CL-S6 has, out of all of the Acura models.
Now if this guy, on the thread below ,would have just did a little research or asked questions first before pulling the trigger on this purchase, he would be a lot happier:

Well at least I don't look stupid by looking at that post...
Is there any difference between a 6-Puck Ceramic Sprung Disc in a regular one, it's because I just realized price on the website is in u.s. I'm not ready to pay three four times more.
Sadly I think I'm going to have to reuse my heavy flywheel :,(

Why not just use the OEM FW & clutch kit and put a LW crank pulley on? I have a LUK FW & clutch set on my S/C'ed six speed and it has plenty of clamping force for my set-up and driving style. Will you be going FI, in the future, to warrant this CM set-up and driving the car hard?

I'm not looking on driving the car hard like I want to try to baby it a bit because I enjoy it.
If you say that the clutch you are recommending me has already enough grip I would just go with that where would I find this?
Go to rockauto.com drill down for the 2003 Acura CL; Transmission-Manual;Clutch kit; Flywheel. Use the coupon code, found in the vendor section, for additional 5% discount.
The LUK FW and clutch set are the same as OEM without the Acura/Honda branding to drive up the price. Keep in mind, some people don't like running the LUK release bearing that comes with the RepSet clutch kit and buy an OEM one. Some claim to have had trouble, some, like me ,are running it with no trouble (yet?).

Thank you very much for helping me man appreciate it, instead of spending 1800 I bought everything for just $735 in there I decided to buy a new flywheel while I'm there.
I'll take in consideration the release clutch bearing.

I did not realize Honda uses the Luk brand for their clutch .....lol
I was just going to the regular swap because my mechanic might run into some problems .....
I will do the J35 swap if you are willing to give me your number Zeta just in case we get stuck I can text you for some advise if that's ok with you
Accord316:
1) When you say you are going to do 'the regular swap', what is it that you mean? Are you going to source a genuine CL-S6 J32A2 and just install that, plug N play? Not very many of those around.
Or are you going to source a 2G automatic CL/TL J32A2 and make that 6-speed compatible and install that?
2) What's got your mechanic apprehensive on the J35A3 swap?

I was going to just do the regular plug and play J32 engine if I can find the manual transmission motor...
I have a 6 speed already just need to find the J32 manual trans engine
My mechanic is fine doing the swap from the J32 to the J35 no hesitation but after reading 2ndgents thread blowing his J35 motor I may opt to do the plug and play

Search car-part.com, there is one full page of them. The lowest is $295 in Grand Prairie Texas.
Good Luck!
Thnaks for sharing will look into that Max.......my car with 140k miles was in a small flood and the engine is done so I may just keep the flywheel and changeover to a new clutch kit with Luk or Sachs brancd
i abuse my daily cls6 with a j35 that has a rockauto luk clutch fw set... i got about 25k miles on the swap/clutch set up...feels great... I drive the car hard...
Clutch and flywheel for j32a2, mt6 I need a pro!
