I know that this topic has been covered on the forums before, because I've seen it myself. And I apologize for bringing it up again, but I can't for the life of me get back to that thread(s)!! I've searched. My question is this: what transmissions are compatible with the 2nd Gen TL? I'm pretty sure 04 and up TL's and Accords, but anything else? Other then the obvious 03 CLS-6.

 

03 CL-S
04-08 TL
03-07 Accord <---- NO LSD

 

^end of discussion

 

thats pretty much it sylk......

btw. car is running like a champ...... did you get the neo?

 

ok, I've never really thought about this or paid much attention if it was discussed in past posts, but if the 04-08 TL trannys work in 2nd gens:

1) is it a direct replacement . . meaning no mods required?
2) and if so, why aren't the dealers replacing the bad 01-03 designs with the new ones?

Did I miss something here?

^04 through 08 base also have the J32. i dont see why not.... i know the 3g 6mt bolts up.

 

we're talking about manual transmissions, not auto's

 

nobody has tried hooking up the autos though. i would try it if i had the chance. im sure some extra sensors are there. but not even needed

 

yeah, but when I saw the compatibility comment between 2nd gen and 3rd gen and I had to ask.

I know the hardcore motorheads prefer the 6spd, but some of us would like to stay auto, and a 3rd gen auto would be a great option to get away from the 2nd gen POS trannys.

Anyway, I may post a separate thread to see if it gets anywhere.

Please, let us know what you find Ruf?

btw - avatar looks like it's off a 64 Chevelle no?

 

if u use the 3g 6mt u have to weld the shift link with something

 

why yes it is . . I had a 64 Malibu SS from 1978-1997

Boy I miss that car . . . it was a blast . . designed and built the engine my self. It was a 327 .30 over with a small journal crank with 11.5-1 compression that would pull 8,000rpm in first and 2nd gear. Don't know what it would do in 3rd, I backed off at 6,500rpm and clocked mile markers to estimate speed at 166mph.

. . . sorry for hijacking the thread

nice! that's what's up, glad to hear it . no, i haven't gotten anything yet. and i hear that if ur FI, u should stay away from the neo and go with an emanage, so i'm jus lookin for a reasonably priced emanage now i guess .

 

^update: got into an accident last night. $1750 in suspension damage..

 

So just to get this straight, an OEM 2.4L accord 5-spd for 03-07 will bolt up to a 2gen TL-P? I just wanna be sure before proceeding any further with this idea.

 

the v6 accord's 6spd will bold up but it does not have LSD... the 04-08 6mt bolts up and has LSD

 

thanks barry. so the accord has both a 6 and a 5 spd man? and the 5spd is a no-go then?

 

u need the trans from a v6 accord

 

i know you said you searched. but i have to ask if you read the search results. the DIY section has links to 3 different 6 speed threads. all of which cover this

 

talk with NVA-AV6, he can do this swap according to a thread on the CL side
