My 2001 CL Type S 6 M/T (work in progress)

I've been a member for a little while and I normally browse this site for research and ideas. Well I think its about time I post up a few pictures of my work in progress. Im still in the process of changing out the interior from tan to black.
I purchased this car for $3200 with a harsh shifting transmission last year in June with the intention of converting it to a 6 speed. The mileage was 113k miles.

This is my 2nd 6 speed swap that I have done.

The first was my J32A2 swapped 99 Accord Coupe pictured right below

Looking good!

You should keep an eye out on the Regions section for any upcoming meets this spring/summer. It would be nice to see another CL out there.

Very nice, maybe one day i can be the first Sundance Gold to have a six speed. Its a very costly mod but I think definitely worth it.

Thanks , I have just about $3k just in the swap, but its done the right way with the factory ecu, engine harness, & engine sensors. It is worth it.

My first swap on the Accord I used Richie's Harness.
This time around I decided to do it the right way. I eneded up purcahsing the 03 CLS6 ecu, engine harness, front cam gear, cam gear plate, cam sensor, carnk sensor, crank gear, LOL everything that I read on the write up, I also had to change my dash A plug and convert it to the D plug that the 03 CLS6 uses. No check engine light, reverse works, tilt mirror works, automatic seat works. Lots of hours invested in this.

But one good thing is that I am Honda Technician at Checkered Flag Honda in Norfolk Virginia.
Reading schematics wasnt too bad. I printed lots of pages out of the service manuals from the Acura Dealer.

What else do you need to finish the interior swap? I'm picking up a wrecked 01 cl-s auto soon and I will be parting it out. It has black interior. I replied in my thread about what you said too.

Wow that's rad. Now that you mention it, I just remembered that he gave the red CL to his brother. He still maintains it for him though. I actually just sent him a PM asking when he'll update the thread. Doubt I'll get a PM back from him for a while though


Let's get back on topic though, Type JDM should mimic your car so that they are identical. He already got the hard part of it over with lol

I missed this thread somehow.

Welcome! We met during the summer, I was driving the blue Accord. We talked a bit about the 6MT swap you were doing.

PS - Nspec, that is an H series.
