Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew:

What transmissions would work in a 2000 TL? Or does it have to be a 2000 TL? Do CL's or 99' models or anything else work?

Thanks,
Matt

 

it has to be tl..unless your doing an engine swap too..

 

Not true. Members have gotten accords and honda odysseys to work. Same platforms.

 

ck the diy list- iirc there is info on what other trans fit with little effort
Nothing is direct bolt in or we all would be on it!

and welcome to acurazine!!

 

Many props to you guys. I was expecting to wait a few days for any resonse at all. But you were on it with good information right away.

Thank you so much!

 

No 99. 99=4speed
2000=5 speed

 

I was looking and I don't see the sticky for what trannys work?

 

just wait here for the real experts on this subject
or use search function ,,try alternate trans
its been discussed before, a scroll thru the main threads or the problems or performance section should yield info

 

lots of different transmissions work. Common options include Odessy's, gen3 tl's, cl's and Accord v6 models.

Its a common misconception is that they don't work with one another.
A J-series motor usually works with a j-series mated transmission.

Usually the sensors or solenoids need to be swapped from the old transmission into the new transmission (sensor connections not compatible).
The old senors usually fit perfectly into the new transmission.

 

that's kind of what I was thinking. Any idea of what year ranges I need to look for?

Even if the mount bracket itself is different, the mounting threads should be the same right? so that shouldn't be an issue either?

Thanks again guys, you guys rock.

 

I dont know an exact list if you know what im saying, but ive read enough treads where those have come up. It seems that a mechanic or trans shop has helped with the process or been involved some way (ex: the shop maybe has had experimented prior).

I would do some searching to see what others have done in the past and focus on the threads where the person details the process/what their situation was and what happened.
Their out there, just gotta go find them.
