I got in the Innovative rear motor mount for the CL-S in today that I no longer need .
I ordered it a little while ago before I decided to stick with my TL-P motor and get the module made.
Know anyone that wants it? Here's the link to the thread in the Black Market -- https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/closed-fs-innovative-rear-motor-mount-2003-cl-s-6mt-383039/#post5766457

the rear mount will work if you use the bracket for the 6 speed.

There were some pretty cheap starters on car-part.com when I was looking around.
The drop in your avatar looks nice with the OEM wheels. What are you dropped on? I'm thinking of going H&R Race and Tokico HP.

THe rear mount bracket, its different then the auto one.
I found a starter on there too, im in the process of getting it.
Im dropped on Eibach pro kit springs, it looks better when in the grass.... its really not that low. plus the front is gonna be higher now with the lighter tranny.

MAKE SURE its from a 6 speed. They are different. i had a few salvage yards say they had them but when they double checked they came out of a auto.

I woulndt waste my money on the stock mounts and the NRG dampeners. I would just get the inovative mounts and skip the dampeners.

thats what I wanted to do, but I dont have the money now to buy the better mounts.... eventually I will, because I think that is the best way to go. Im just gonna have to deal with the shitty mounts for now.

Pohanka Acura wants to charge me $3,300 for a whole new Autotragic tranny.
Now, would it be cheaper/easier if I just buy the whole engine and 6-speed tranny or part and piece it out like how everyone else is doing?
I got a 3.5-4k window...

I'm spending 3K in parts to put the 6 speed on my TL-P motor.
If you are doing the complete swap, you will spend close to 4-5K with all the other parts you have to buy.
And all of this is just parts. You have to figure in labor if you're not going to do it yourself.

Richie is currently making one work with the TL-S and when I get all my parts in he will have one that will make the 4 speed TL-P work.
EDIT: It won't let me post the link, so Google "6 speed obsession" and click on the first link for the whole "module" thread.

So far I have spent 2300 and I have a new CL-S motor and 6 speed and every part except intake manifold throttle body and starter.
3-4k is possible just look everywhere

I should think about pieceing together the parts rather than order a straight swap over.
Good thing I got another accord to drive around.
