Another thread made me think of this, but given the general exclusivity of owning a 6-speed, I wondered if we could get a roll call of 6-speed owners on the board here? I know from lurking a bit that many of us have made the transition from auto/slushes to 6-spds, but out of roughly 2700 how many do we have here?

Personally, outside of these boards, I have seen zero (0) 6-spds on the DE roads. All autos, very few '03's.

Sound off please if you have a 6-speed - it'd be nice to keep a running list of folks to discuss issues as they may arise.

 

Im 1 of 2700.............anyone else?

 

right here yo..

2 of 2700.

 

I have a 6 speed and I'm wondering how you can tell a car on the road is a 6 speed? I wish Acura had badged it 6-speed, like they used to do on the Preludes. I'm working on badging mine.

 

I have one and it sweet and responsive.

 

Another six speeder here. I'm coming on my one year anniversary in a few days. I'm just pushing 11,000 miles now.

This roll call has been done before. Last time I think there were about 30 of us. I bet we're up to 50 or 60 now.

 

Don't forget me. One year is coming up on the 19th.

 

6 Speeder here .. thanks to Honda's crappy auto (which they made me a good deal on trade in for the 6'r) .. and other than the shitty idle .... and pinging vacuum valve .. it's awesome to drive!

 

I've got one too!

 

for me if I can fix the gearbox

 

6-Speed #359 of 2700. Passed the 1 year mark 11 days ago. 17,300 miles on it.

 

One here.

 

how did you figure out the number?
anyway i have one too

 

Traded in my 01 CLS for an 03 CLS 6sp. Now have about 3400 miles on it.

 

6speed here 9000 miles and running like a champ with a blown cls

 

traded in an '01PDG for my red six speed!
12k mi. and still no headers

 

I've had mine for 1 year and 22K miles.

BTW, how do you tell a 6 speed from outside?

 

Maybe by listening?

 

Got one too, comming up on 1 month of ownership. 3/3/03

 

i got one..... it's scweeeeet

 

got anthracite?

im on the 6speed list....and traded up to it from a silver 02...
great decision it was too

 

Me too.

 

The VIN from the 2003 model year has both auto and manual trannys mixed together. You cannot tell what number of the 2700 you are from the VIN.

Unless you are privy to the actual logs from the factory, there is no way to know which one of the 2700 you have.

 

I got mine (5800 miles)

 

I've only seen one other '03 on the road (determined my the rims and clear lenses on the rear lights - not infallible, I know) and, when driving right next to it, could see the guy's right hand on the wheel the whole time, starting from a light. Other than that, it's been '01s and '02s the whole way.

 

Another 3 pedal CL.

 

6 speed here .. one year will be on 4/20. i LOVE this car. i had intentions on just keeping it for like 2 years, but after owning it for a year, im keeping my baby for the long run ..

 

6-Speeding since July 2002! ~9700 miles

 

YYYooooooo another here It will be a year in May and I am about to click 20k in just a few!! I traded up (with a little help from acura) from a 01 with some bad trany problems. I will be driving this one into the ground!!!

 

6 speed
Is 2700 the number of CL-Ss produced in total?
Wow, that makes my S2000 look like a high production car

 

Honda/Acura's original press releases about the six-speed manual said that only 2700 will be produced. You can probably dig around http://www.acuranews.com for the original release.

 

Miccheck....check check....check 1.......check 2

 

Now what?

We gonna have a 6-speed club meet...?....LOL

Smitty

 

smitty,
good idea!

 

I've got one. Purchased 9/30/02 - 3300 miles.

 

Picked up my Black '03 6 speed on Dec1 2002 from Rallye Acura , now at 2,550 miles...best thing is that I havent seen one the same as mine !!!! (thats one of the reasons I felt the love for it right away...)

 

Mine just tuned a year old on 3/28/03.

 

Red 6 speed no navi. Gee 300 miles.

Need a good nickname for my car. Any suggestions?

 

Silver 6 speed no navi, picked up 8/28/02 - just turned 10K miles.

 

Got mine on 11/27/02. I'm at 7k right now.
