You wouldnt do a 6 speed engine swap. The motors sensors arent compatible with the auto tranny wiring

6 speed tranny swap. There is no difference in power in the CL-S and TL-S motor.

The 99-03 TL never came with a manual transmission. It has Sportshift, but its completely different. And fsttyms1 did the motor too, because his TL is not a Type-S. So he put in the Type-S motor and CL-S 6 speed tranny.

Autos suck up ALOT of power. Alot is lost in the torque converter. Not to mention the 200 lbs more that the auto trans weighs ovre teh manual.
