Trans Questions for the Pros

Hey guys! Hows it going? I am in the market for a 2001 CL coupe with the 3.2L and an automatic trans. I am definitely looking to swap out the auto and make it a manual car and was wondering if I had any options. I was thinking that the 1996 and newer transmissions should work, but have not found any photos or any diagrams that prove or disprove my theory. I was also wondering if the TSX or TL engines were the same and if anyone had done any successful swaps. This is going to stay a daily driver so it needs to be a quick in and out swap kinda thing. No more than a weekend downtime. I have the space, tools, and friends to pull this off, but just need the info. This is my first Acura in a while and my expertise is with RWD. Also, does anyone know about how the wiring and computers works out? Does the manual swap require a manual computer and harness as well?

Any info would be awesome or even just some links to look at would be great too.

Thanks!!

you be a whole lot better off just buying a 6 speed. most people that do the swap think its a easy job but when they get into it they are overwhelmed.
