Curious i cant see if there is a difference between the auto and 6 spd in the CL-s in 2003. Anyone shed some light ?

Are they both J32A2?

 

The engines are the same. Both are J32A2 engines. The differences are in the cl-p (premium) model and the cl-s (sport) model.

 

6 speeds have different front cam gear and sensor and the back plate, also have different crank gear and sensor.

The autos have another sensor coming out of the front head, from behind the cam gear plate.

 

Reason i ask is i want to put this motor into a 1998 CL. I can get the motor for $150 .

So wanna know if i can use it and some parts to put in my 98 cl

 

It would be cool to know just exactly what needs to be done to convert an auto motor to a manual motor. Like the part numbers and the costs of each part. Im trying to decide if its cheaper to get the parts or just buy a whole different motor. And the thing is if u buy another motor you never know how long its been sitting or how it was maintained as compared to just swapping the parts onto yours and having the piece of mind knowing that the motors been taken care of.

 

as i was.
