Hey guys, im on this page for my father.
recently he bought an 01 tl and it had less than 100k miles on it. Well hes now wanting to go 6 spd swap. Im just wondering what all needs to be done or if i can find a 3.2 cl and just swap the 6spd into it and go

 

It's quite a bit of work, and as time goes by becomes more and more increasingly difficult to find the parts to do it. there were very few (relatively) 6 speeds made and it's quite old.

it IS still feasible; though I think it would be more worthwhile just to buy a 2 speed outright.

 

Pretty much your only option is to buy a wrecked 2003 Acura CL Type-S 6MT parts car and swap over the transmission, linkages, wiring harnesses, and ECU. This job is not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet.

As @whitetiger5 hinted, it will probably be better, faster, and cheaper to sell your TL and buy a 2004-2006 TL 6MT.

 

Here are two 'swappable' CL-S6's, if seriously interested:

Although, this 2002 looks mislabeled.

lol...let me know where you might be able to find a 2 speed. I gotta stop this quarantine drinking.

nice finds! if they are close enough, just a matter of work.

 

Funny thing, one of my first cars had a 2-Speed "Slip and Slide PowerGlide" transmission.
