Scenario: 03 CL 6 Speed Motor blown.

Solution: Sourced a J32A2 from an 03 Automatic CL-S

This is not plug and play.

1. You will need the intake manifold from your 6 speed motor. The throttle diameter and collar are different.
2. You will need the Crank Position Sensor and the Top Dead Center sensors from the 6 speed motor. These are different.
3. You will need the front CAM gear and CAM gear plate from the 6 speed motor, these are different.
4. The CAMshafts are different, but only in duration (.263 vs .264). It's not worth swapping.
5. The oil pump is different. The Auto pump DOES work in the Auto motor. Leave it be.
6. The Throttle Body and Throttle Neck is different between the auto and the manual, you will need this assembly from the manual car.
7. The unaltered wiring harness from the manual car works fine with the auto motor.

 

8. The water neck and pipe are needed from the 6 speed engine, they are different on the auto.

 

How did it go for you?

 

IIRC, the crank position sensors cost a pretty penny.

 

^^no they dont, less than $60

 

and their is only one CPS

 

Just move them over from the old motor. There are 2 TDC Sensors and 1 Crank sensor.

The car is flawless thus far. No codes, no surprises. Low-rev / low-end drivability has suffered some, but that's not a surprise.

I was looking at adjusting the clutch up. I see the cylinder rod, and it has two nuts that go into a brass landing. Looks like you might be able to move the shaft in or out a hair, but not enough to make much of a difference?

 

if you can loosen the nut, turn counterclockwise to lower the engagement point.

i'm having trouble loosening mine

 

loosening it is very very hard. vice grip needed. our cars have 2 crank position sensors btw. one on motor and one on tranny

 

The one at the crank is not 60. Its almost 500.00

 

Shouldnt have needed it. I didnt. Same with the intake. I used the intake and all sensors from the auto motor and every thing plugged int.

 

when I was doin my swap i got that sensor for 50 bucks. I triple checked to make sure it was the right one for the engine and it was
