Well i did it today. I ordered the 6 speed. Should be delivered early next week. Now i need to start buying the other parts .

Later today im going to start a new thread with the progress/process for updates as i go along. (with pics when available)

 

 

aww yeah! Hey how much was the 6 speed? Are you gonna replace the dash cluster? (I assume you could leave it if you wanted to..)

 

Got it for 1500 shipped. and yes ill replace it

 

Booya.

 

man...can't wait to see the finished product!

 

Good luck, with the conversion!

 

Sweet, I'll probably do that once I hit 90K miles or so.

 

What do estimate the total cost of the project to be, fsttymsl ?

 

wow....good luck for that
you will be the first person who owns 2 gen TL 6 speed ...NICE!

 

awesome! good luck man I hope everything goes well. is there a SC or turbo in the midst after this?

 

Way to goes Kris !!

 

You da man Kris. Good luck on your new project, I'm sure you'll do just fine!!! :gheywave:

 

DIY on the 6spd swap

 

Good luck with that. You'll have to let us know about total cost for you once you are done. That's going to be awsome!

 

you get the gearbox from the 3rd gen?

 

Ho yeah men im impatient to see the developements.. write a diy and take a lot of pics ?

 

fsttyms1 your my hero.

When my auto tranny went last month I was thinking about asking em to install the 6 speed tranny instead. I doubt they would do it.. I haven't heard of anyone that has changed it to the 6 speed.
Can't wait to hear about the results. Keep us posted with pics too!
Good luck

 

Ill keep every one updated as i go. est price to be somewhere around 3000-4000 (including type-s engine) some of the mounts are hella expensive

 

You might as well do the SC add-on at the same time.

 

2003 CL-S TRANNY AND MOTOR??????? if so nice

 

Don't forget the blue LED washers and acurazine sticker after you put everything back together. They both add 5hp.

 

That's not fair! Your car will be faster than mine!

 

if i am going to keep my car forever, i would do that after my warrenty goes out at 100k miles

but now it's only 55k miles

btw...i would love to see ur car getting done, i can't wait for it

 

oh shit!

i cant wait to hear more about your project! once you have a list of all the parts/labor needed... i think a few members are going to take the dive! (i might do it in 2-3 years )

 

can you install a webcam in your garage while you work?

 

after you are done and everything works can I buy your car?

 

if your tranny can hold that time :P

 

Don't wait for the finished product to share pics!!!

Love to see pics of the parts before they go into the car, as well as work-in-progress photos!!!

 

I can't wait to see how everything goes either. After this, I think you will be a acurazine god

 

damn Kris!! ...good luck


Maybe some other crazy person will try shit mess ...lol


I just ordered the helms manual for the cl ..so let me know if you need anything

 

Ok guys. Dont worry about info. Im the last to keep it from yo. As i do it ill keep you updated. I tore the the engine out also tonight. Pics will be later. and this swap will be foresure.

 

damnit. this is a big deal. for once i am happy i live in wisconsin. i might take the trip up from Milwaukee to see your progress bro..... lemme know what you think...

 

Hey, any one who wants to come up and take a look feel free

 

Cant wait to see the finished product, good luck Kris.

 

Field trip time, I wonder how long it will take me to get there from NJ???
Kris, good luck...cant wait to see the finished product!!!!!

 

where did you get the engine and tranny from? a CLS 6 speed, or were they apart? BTW good luck and you are the man

 

I got the engine from a TL and the 6speed obviously from the CL.

 

Im starting to wonder if the Type-s engine is going to fit under my hood im going to have to take some measurements. If not Powerbuldge in the hood

 

Hmmm....I would have expected it too, I guess you did too. Is it that much taller?
