I'm so ready to do this.

Every time I'm at my computer I look right beside me and see this


Being watched over by my Remington 870 Express Magnum 12 ga



Now I just gotta work out a time and place to do all the work

Never Summer

I'm excited by how much progress you've made, this is giving me some confidence to do this myself whenever my tranny goes out.

I think the picture makes it looks worse than it is

It will at least look OK until I can find something better.

fsttyms1

I really need those mounts.

4 is more than enough. If i remember right it takes just a little over 2

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

I'll let you know how it rides after I get everything in. Some people in the thread in the Black Market were talking about vibration and that the side mount was too high or something and you have to lift up the engine to get it to line up and that was what was causing the vibration.

fsttyms1

The vibration is probably caused by the urethane mounts and not being rubber

A few people have also been having problems with fitment and the holes not lining up right. We'll see about mine when we go to put them on.


I just got some Tein S.Tech off The Black Market .

...and Tokico HP off eBay.

MurkyRiversTL

well this is where Im at as of now.

I have the engine and tranny in, and after this pic I put the radiator and fans in and connected the power steering pump, alternator, and ac compressor. AS you can see, I still need the intake manifold, throttle body and starter, but all of this will come this weekend



Here is the shifter and e brake, I also have the clutch pedal in, but the one I have ( from an S200) doesnt move enough to fully engage the clutch, so Im going to be buyin the right pedal this weekend. as well as the IMRC control box.


And the 6 speed gagues that I placed super bright white LEDs behind.... ahould look pretty good.

MurkyRiversTL

oh and I just ordered headers, cause I dont want stock headers for this car..... that would just be ridiculous.

iTrader: (8)

looks really good.

MurkyRiversTL

well everything is a little dirty.... lol..... but I havent washed my car since September (that when the tranny died) its been sitting in my garage since then.

Nice to see everything coming along.

I see both you and Kris are running the Optima Red.

I was going to get a new battery (mine was getting pretty old anyway and it's just been sitting there for a few months and is probably completely dead by now) and was going to get the Yellow. I don't really have that much electronics to run; I just have a headunit for now but eventually I was going to get a carputer and redo the system in the trunk.



Red or Yellow top?

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea mine has been sitting for just about as long as yours but it isn't in a garage, just in a driveway so it is dirty as hell on the outside, but I fully detailed it inside before I dropped it there, so the interior shouldn't be too bad.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

I see you lurking, Paul

We're probably gonna be doing this in the next few weeks.

fsttyms1

I like the shift knob!! I want to get rid of mine for the TL type-s knob

Oh and red top

MurkyRiversTL

I got the shift knob and boot from a member on here for 35 shipped.... or something like that..... not a bad deal

johnr5

Any updates as to when i should request a few days off to help you pull this off?

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

I have all the parts I'm just trying to get a hold of the guy about going out to his house and doing it there. If not, I will have to find somewhere else to do it, but that shouldn't be a problem. I'm just trying to make it the best working environment for us to do a good but quick job.


I'm guessing we'll shoot for the weekend after next (the 16-17). I already have my schedule made for this week so I need to write on both calendars that I need that weekend off too. Is that too early of notice?

I'm probably going to get started that Wednesday or Thursday so you can try and make it up as early as you can and we can work through the weekend. I'm just going to start gutting the interior and do what I can as far as prep work to get us started.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Not at all. I'll keep an eye out on the BM and eBay for one.

Hey murky, we could still use our old shift boot console correct?

Just add that shift boot and type s emblem?

I want to keep the heat seat buttons in the same spot.

fsttyms1

Yes. the center console stays the using the TL piece. You just add the shiftboot and trim ring (all one piece bought new). It just fits into place.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

^^^

As far as the heated seats, you will retain the stock position, but you have to get a little blank plastic piece that fits in where the heated seat buttons are on the CL-S (where you see them by the parking brake in Murky's pictures). It looks like his center colsole came with the switches. You just pop those out and fill in a blank switch. You could also mount a switch for something else there if you want to.



On a side note, I am going to pick up the Optima Red Top (from Autozone) and trans fluid and bearing grease (from Honda dealership) today.

fsttyms1

I havent found a blank that fits (though i havent tried real hard)

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Oh, I thought you remembered you saying that you were getting a blank piece to go there. What else would you put there? Just get a shop that makes dash gets to make a custom piece that fits in there?

fsttyms1

I thought i could get one of the dash blanks to fit and it didnt. I was just thinking of picking up a seat switch from the manual and sticking it in there to plug the hole. Its been one of those low priority things for me and ive been driving around with it open.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Just picked up the Optima Red Top, hose clamps for the clutch master cylinder lines, MTF and UERA grease for the bearing. Only thing left is cotter pins.

If anyone is going to be around Tallahassee two weekends from now and wants to help with the swap, let me know .

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Do you also relocate #2 (47342-SZ3-003 SWITCH, PARKING BRAKE) from the stock position?

fsttyms1

I didnt have to because i used the CL wire harness. If you arent intending on doing so you could simply extend the wires from the stock location to that

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

That's what turns on the light in the cluster? It has #2 on the new parking brake assembly that I bought (I just checked the big box of parts I have here) so I would just have to extend the wries to make the light come on?

MurkyRiversTL

do you really need the light though. I meanyou can see when your ebrake is pulled, its right next to your shifter.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea that's what I was thinking but it would take like 2 minutes to do and I might as well while I have the whole car apart.

00 acura tl

would Richie's Module work on 00 tl-p?

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

We're still trying to figure that out. He hasn't got it to work on any TL's yet but that's because the only one he has tried it on was running the Type-S ECU. It has been proven to work time and time again on the 98-02 Accords, but not on the TL yet. Joe will be the first with the Type-S module and I will hopefully be the first TL-P to run it successfully. He said he would come down once I have the swap done and get the module to work with my car. Then he'll be able to tell if they work with the TL-P's so he can move on to making a module for the Type-S.

MurkyRiversTL

If your going to spend 700 for a module, why not just get a type s engine and trans. it would be a lot faster, and better.... IMO.

2K3_TLs

I'd have to agree with Mike on this one. It just makes more sense that way. But to each their own I suppose

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

B/C you have to get the engine, ecu, and wiring harnesses which is a good bit

I posted another list of random nuts and bolts a few pages back. That all depends where you get your parts from and what hardware comes with them.
