You Bastard! (insert south park voice here)

 

Well, you can save that for later if it gets done properly with no problems.

I'm already having withdrawals about parting with my 3.2L block. We've been through so much together *sniff sniff*... But it will live on as a built drag motor in my friend's RX-7.

 

Nice!

 

now back on topic

kris you done w/ur conversion yet?

 

how hard is it install a transmission and what tools do u need? im a noob diy'er

 

the tranny install is actually fairly easy.

Big floor jack, 4 jackstands baisic Metric hand tools and a ball joint seperator. Oh and a friend to help. that tranny is Heavy!

 

Yes

the tranny install is actually fairly easy.

Big floor jack, 4 jackstands baisic Metric hand tools, a half shaft socket (33 or 34mm cant remember off the top of head) and a ball joint seperator. air tools are a pluss but not needed at all. a full day/weekend first time. Oh and a friend to help. that tranny is Heavy!

 

found a CL-S 6 speed for 1600. hummmmm

 

DO IT Kris! GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

 

You mean like a junked CL-S6, or the 6-speed unit?

 

Oh god... the two of you are startin to scare me!!!!! But...... I have one thing to say.... GO FOR IT!!!!

 

 

the tranny. i found a 03 TL-S engine with 40k on it for 1200.

get my idea yet now all i need is the cls comp, a wire harness for the cls, and a set of gauges

 

major swappage time!

 

Will the wiring really be that simple? Just a harness?

 

let's hope so!

anyone have a CL-S 6-Speed in Kris' hood? Maybe he can take a look at the differences b/w them as far as tranny to engine hookup is concerned

 

it will make things alot simpler when it comes time to plug things in if its the correct wiring. in order to make it the easiest swap, im thinking it would be easiest to turn it into a TL-S (not that id mind the extra HP anyway) (also this would force me int getting a header too, you know since teh cl-manual header has a different design than the tl )
save some weight too. it looks like the auto tranny is 150 lbs more than the manual?

 

hmm, well.....





do it

 

i really want to, just kinda concerned about the little electrical gremlins?? (ie getting speedo tach ect to work) and start with the imobilizer in the key.

 

hopefully by the end of the weekend i will have made a decision

 

It's a big task. No need to hurry into it.

 

actually i do have to kinda hurry. mine wont last (im guessing much past thursday of this week) iand i dont feel like renting a car for a month or more while i decide

like i said. ill try to make the executive decision by the end of the weekend as to what im doing

 

whatever you do, make sure u write a DIY!

 

we'll if u get the tranny in and the car works... thats the main thing u need to worry about..
all the electrical stuff can come later right?

 

I say... take your tranny out..... take your engine out... and roll flinstone style!

 

Ummmmmm No

 

hahahahahaahahaha that was good

I'd be alot more jealous if u had a 300HP V8 in ur TL than a 6 speed transmission.
