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.

That and the manual trans allows 20 or so more hp to the wheels.

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.

Also, the 6MT is A LOT more reliable than the 5spd auto.
