6-speed swap

Ok so my 1999 Acura TL has 125,000 miles. The stock tranny does its job but whens its cold it slips a bit. when warmed up its fine. I plan on keeping the car for a while because i got a GREAT deal on it (salvage vehicle because it was abandoned) and what ever money i put into it is what i would have spent on a different car. but to my question, if i bought a wrecked or salvaged accord or cl with good 6 speed tranny would i have all the parts i needed to do the swap or no?

well if you found a wrecked CL-6 why wouldnt you get the better engine to go with the trans. Yes you can use your motor but you will need to run the modules to make it work.

I saw that 500 dollar sensor is no longer that any more. Its well under 100 It should never have been that expensive to begin with
