anyone have a rough estimate on the cost to go auto to manual?

 

1500-3000 depends on who you get your parts from and if you are keeping your existing engine.

 

Which one are you talking about? I have my regular one left an i already sold the 6-speed cupholder

 

Sorry delay update:

My 6Speed Swap has been done for about 2 weeks now an it drive like a dream. I did have some major misfire on engine an that problem got solve, but left bad burn too my car. Phee know what I'm taking about. This Swap would have be done over 4 months ago if i didn't have to wait on Tranny mounted that seek to be on back order like forever.

First off I need to give Special THANK to Phee for introducing me to guys of Drive Automotive an that would be Alben an his dad Mr. Ruben without then this could never been done. Also needed to THANK, fsttyms1 an 6MTUA5 for there Parts list (This made this very easy to find all my parts i needed).
Last but not least Richie V6 for making Modules for TL. I can wait to get this part in my car this weekend

Will post some picture of final product 2nite

 

Congrats!

Waiting on pics!

congrats, i wish i had supportive people around me haha

Thank for all Congrat Guys

AN What Misfire did to my rear OEM Lip
A simple test drive on highway cause this. The bad thing was i had no Check Engine ON so i didn't know there was misfire until i switch back to my 99 gauge cluster

 

oooops. yeah, a misfire the CEL will flash but different guage cluster i guess would do it.

 

nooo. all cluster will light up the CEL during a misfire. as long as the bulb work. i think a BACKfire did that. probably because of no cat and running rich since your imrc was closed

 

also, i got the diagrams for the cooling system

 

 

when i had my misfire in december, the CEL flashed, it ended up being a bad coilpack

you forgot to add lots of beer

 

clean swap. congrats

 

Nice!

 

once i get some more news back i'll know for sure about the mod that's going to be added to my swap

 

Great work! The TL-S should have had a 6 speed manual option from the factory. That has to be a fun car to DD.

 

oopppsss....

On Acuracarland@com go to
Part & Service then Order Acura Parts Next Choose CL, 03, 2DR Sport or w/ Navi, KA6MT, (then given Component area)
This is area where i got all my picture from an you can see price on all the parts that's needed. I'm lucky they are in GA an they are local so I only had to pay for taxes an $5 handling charge b/c shopping cost for all this stuff is alot.


You can play around an just start adding all parts in shopping cart just to see final price for just parts alone.

 

 

So what do you expect the final total will be?

 

i got an offer for an 03cls transmission for 2k shipped with Trans, flywheel &pressure plate, wire harness and ECU, peddle assembly, shifter and linkage

is this a good price?

 

sounds pretty good. what kind of mileage on the tranny? is the flywheel + clutch + pressure plate on the newer side? if not, this is one thing you would probably want to go new on (i did) and see if they can lower the price if you don't get the clutch and flywheel. as far as everything else sounds like a good deal.

make sure you get the handbrake kit too.

get on richiev6's harness list too.

 

^ He would be getting the ECU too. So no need for the module, right?

 

if he's doing it that way he will have to rewire the entire cabin, change cam gears and a whole lotta stuff that makes the richiev6 module so valuable

 

egg zachary

 

Oh yea, forgot all about the CLS6 cam gears...

 

not to mention some expensive ass sensors and possibly even gauge cluster?

 

Where's the harness link at?

Would the CLS 6 speed direct fit on a 99 tl motor?

Would there be any modifications i would need to do?

 

also the transmission has 52k mileage. can i still use the cluth/flywheel for a while? it's expensive for clutch and flywheel

 

can't link to it here. google "six speed obsession" first link on the top

yes, they match right up.

there would be quite a few modifications you'll need to do. lots of patience and some drilling skills



you prob could, but remember changing clutch and flywheel (if you have someone change it out later on) will cost you more than if you were to do it right the first time.

 

Thank Assclown for answering all question for me

I have been busy working an trying finish up wiring from Richie Module.




Everything wire up great an only thing left is the speed sensor an reverse light. For guy with Type-S wiring harness your with be just plug an play on speed senor for us Non Type-S we are going have to make our own harness an add so more wire to Richie Module. But NO biggie at all. I will give you guys updated after i get done

 

yeah man, give us a DIY on the richie harness, i dunno if it comes with instructions or anything. my swap time will be sometime late next month. all i need now are mounts and ECU. (and waiting to pay off my mod to recieve that)

 

You don't needed a DIY cause it's basic all common sense. You just got to be able to follow the diagram to see were all the wires go to. Also double check your wire number before you start cutting an do one at a time.

p.s.
I saw you new mod

 

oh ok. wasn't sure how hard it was to plug up

yes. i figured what the hell. why spend $1200 on headers (comptech) when i can get a kit for $1600 that comes with headers anyway

 

This would be fun to drive.....

 

this thing is nice!
