Planning manual swap on base 02 TL

Hey all so im doing research on what it will take to manual swap my 2002 base model TL and of course the easy answer would be to find a 2003 CL-S to take the motor and transmission to move them into the TL, but I wonder if there are any manual transmissions from other model TLs or Accords that are able to bolt onto the J32A1 motor. Thanks all for any help!

The CL-S swap is the most straight forward relative to clutch and shift linkages as the CL-S and your TL are built off the same platform. From the transmission perspective, the CL-S, G7 V6 Accord, and 2004-2006 TL are your ONLY options. Keep in mind, the Accord transmission does not have the LSD built into the transmission like the TL.

Yeah the best way to do that swap would be getting the 03 cl-s and swapping it all over, and some here including myself could help with the wiring. And getting the other car would get you all the pedals and spacers shifter etc all the little parts you need for the swap as well
