i just got my car back after getting an '07 auto TL tranny swapped in. not sure if anyone on here has done it but just wanted to give another option for everyone. we all know how the CL trannys are and i saw no point in continuing to get a rebuilt tranny that i knew was going to eventually go out. ive seen plenty of people on here go through 3, 4, and 5 trannys which is why i wanted to go to a later model 3G tranny thats not known for the problems like ours are. i got more performance mods put in so i needed something more reliable.

 

Do you feel a difference?

 

awesome. but i just got the base tl trans? type s trans? is their a difference between the two? bc im thinking of keeping my tl and doing a jdm conversion bc i got some hookups up in japan, but the trans is always on my mind.

direct bolt on?

 

not really feels great and shifts fine.

i got the base 3.2. it wasnt a direct bolt-on.

NVA-AV6 did my swap ill try and get him to enlighten everyone on it.

 

that would be great

 

he also said you could put in an honda odyssey tranny in too.

 

Strange...they dont have Tip-tronic

 

Is the 07 tl tranny a complete drop in replacement or is their a partslist/custom parts to make this work ?

 

^we are waiting for nva-av6 to chip in

 

There is another thread where this was discussed. I have been trying to find it and have had no luck.

 

Lol I forgot I started that thread.

There is yet another one, that I posted in and cannot for the life of me find. Been looking on & off for an hour, getting irritating.

 

Oh I thought u were talking about that one.

 

That is all software.....

 

help us we are all slaves to the horrible cl auto trans

 

an 2nd gen tl trans

 

im not anymore.

 

^me either. 6spd ftmfw. but my tl on the other hand

 

your tl needs to join the club.

 

I take it it's only the 07-08 TL auto trans that are good...? It'd be strange if it was all 3g TL's, seeing as how they redesigned the CL's auto trans when the 3g TL's were out, but the redesigned 2g CL's trans still has issues...

I dunno, this just seems a little confusing to me.

 

the '04-'08 can fit but after talking to a bunch of 3g owners the '04 and early '05's have the same issue the 2nd gen cl/tl owners have. so if you do it go with '07-'08. the 3.2 tranny not the type-s 3.5. i cant remember but i think NVA-AV6 said the type-s tranny wouldnt work. i pm'd him about this thread so he should be in soon.

 

as of right now my trans is holding up. if it blows. either 6spd swap or throw another trans in and sell it asap

 

Yeah I figured as much. IMO it wouldn't make sense considering all that I've read about concerning our transmissions, and all Honda has done about them.

By the way, where exactly would you get a 07 or 08 transmission? I doubt "a junkyard" would be a popular answer...

 

car-part.com. see a few a few miles away from me. $600-$800.

 

i got mine off car-part.com

 

Ok guys......

Preffered would be a 04-06 oddy trans, since it is a mom mobile there is much less chance it has been beaten on and they are plentiful in the yards.

It is not completely a direct drop in there are some parts (trans range switch,trans filter housing) that need to be transferred and a couple holes that are cast into the housing need to be tapped, the bosses are there they just need to be drilled and tapped.

Triptronic is all a matter of ECU, the physical trans has nothing to do with it.

 

sweet. thanx alot

 

Smart move, Diddy...
How is the lip coming along?

 

ive put a shit ton of money in the car i didnt want to put more towards a tranny. the fronts and sides are done. i need to put the rear bumper and lip in the shop to get molded.

 

interesting

 

Obviously you haven't seen soccer mom drive, have you?

 

i hate that 5min edit rule sometimes.

ive put a shit ton of money in the car i didnt want to KEEP puting more towards a tranny.

 

i wanted an odyssey tranny for the reason you stated but the TL tranny was more in my budget. ive been spending alot on mods this winter.

 

Nice job!

 

how long for the trans install? how much for labor?

 

My tranny is going, lets see if I can find one in canada LOL but not really

 

I actually found alot around where I live but what years of the odyssey fit our cars

Now ill just have to see how long my tranny will last and then to find someone to install it !!!!!

 

it took about 2 days but he also did the following:
S/C rebuilt
high flow cat installed
b-pipe installed
tranny cooler installed
front axles replaced

so just the tranny swap id say a little over a day. but all cars are different that could change. for prices you should pm him. but what i can say is that they are very good.

 

04-06

 

im looking now to see if a can find at 3g tl tranny for this swap.
my tranny on my cls is completely shot.
