Got the new cupholder-- bring on the stick shift!

I got my upgraded cupholder today. What a difference! Now that I don't need my right hand free to keep my drink from tipping over, I'm ready for my 6 speed. Bring it on, Acura!

Unfortunately, the 6-Speed won’t be a “drop-in” option and it MIGHT just cost a bit more.

Well, I guess technically it is, but it MIGHT be more difficult to install then a cup holder.

Well, I'm assuming that the 6 speed CL will have the new hands-free cupholder already. I'm not planning on modifying my current car.

Search the FAQs for the part #,picture, etc. It costs about $6 at the dealer. Depending on your build date, then you might not need to get the upgraded cupholder.

And don't worry about the tabs on the new cupholder. I cut mine off with a utility knife and it fits perfectly.

...and don't let the dealership order a replacement of the same old CL cupholder for you. Insist on the new cupholder by part #, even if they claim it won't fit your car, or you can't return it, or it's for the TL only, or whatever. $7 is $7. You pay it, you get the part. If it doesn't work out for you, the part goes in the trash. But it will work....and you will be pleasantly surprised.
