Well if you all remember, a couple of weeks ago I asked if tranny's typically go out on our cars or are there any that make it. Well I'm one of the ones that didn't make it. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been noticing the tranny dragging going into 3rd. I was hoping it was possibly due to the weather or maybe I was just imagining it! Yesterday on my way home I got over to pass someone and the rpm's jumped to 6, but the speedo stayed right where it was. So this morning I figure I'll drive it to work and then park it this evening, the TL had other plans....so I made a u-turn and headed back to the house. Didn't quite make it before all the gears went out. So I tried reverse, and yup, it worked So i drove it backwards to the house! I was in the neighborhood @ this time. So, anyone have a tranny they wanna get rid of??

 

^ask people that are doing the 6mt swap

 

Will do, thx........

 

You seem pretty optimistic from that post although your tranny was f*cked LOL ..

 

I am! I mean my nice car is immobile, but it could be worse! I'll search the web and find the best deal and get it put in! It sucks, but I know people in way worse predicaments

 

was there a reason it doesnt qualify for acura warranty or goodwill?

 

Its a 2000 & I have 138k miles. I figured I was passed the grace period.

 

Will an 01 TL-S engine & tranny swap right in? I mean do I have to get new wires or computer pieces to get it to work?

 

The 01-03 CL-S and 02-03 TL-S engine/tranny (same engine and tranny) is a direct swap. There are some skilled individuals on this website and V6 P. N E T that you should talk to. They will tell you everything that you need as far as parts go to do your conversion.. Good luck!

 

lol danggg ur lucky u weren't far from home atleast good luck w/ the search

 

if u decide on doing the 6 speed swap i can help u with it. plenty of members in alabama come see me for work all the time

also, hav eu tried the dealer?

 

try it anyway. i got lucky and so have some others. speak to the MANAGER not the advisor

 

Will an 04 tranny fit right in to our cars?

 

and has the same problems~

 

no one has tried it for the automatic.

The 04 MANUAL fits tho...

 

one more reason i dont regret the new 5 speed lude.

my car never gave me any tranny issues, but im sure eventually it would have.

i dont think i'll ever break this h22 or tranny.

good luck with the swap, whatever itmay be

 

get an 05

 

except the 05 carried the same case issues...
I think gen2 warranty units were a testbed for the change, and then late 05-06s got the new design,,,but thats a guess,, not fact based on anything but my desire to be heard~

 

actually the cases stayed the same until 07. in mid 07 they changed the design and bolt pattern of the tranny completely

 

Wrong..

p.diddy over on the CL side had a 07-08 tranny put into his CL-S.. with minor modifications.

.. this is what needs to be done to make it work.
