Is it possible to switch an 03 TL from an automatic to a manual? I just moved out of Atlanta and I have room to drive now so I want to switch to a manual, but really want to hold on to my car (It's my first). Is it possible, and does anyone know a ballpark estimate of the cost?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for serious. I was hoping i could find something like that. I've been looking for hours.

 

 

hours

parts and labor are going to cost anywhere from 3-4.5k depending on who u know. thats if u dont do it yourself

 

There are 3+ threads on members who have done it or are doing it. Look in the DIY thread as well for more info. Also search for the modules thread. It will make things easier

 

As for cost it could cost a lot (6-8k) depending on how much you get the parts for and if you have someone do the labor

 

Did a search huh? Hmmm..

 

it seems like it costs a lot, but you'll have one of the rarest Acura's ever

 

^with everyone doing it...won't be rare for long.

 

that's true but as the 2gen TL gets older, most people won't want to spend $3-5k on it

 

Thats true.

 

its a shame that acura didnt offer the 2g with a 6mt from the factory...

Ill be doing this swap as well when my auto decides to kick the bucket

 

wow. worst searcher ever.
