Transmission options 2003 TL Type S
Brand new to these forums and see some have swapped out accord or odyssey transmissions. Can some one tell me what options I have for my 2003 TL type s?

Some people have swapped it out with a 06 accord transmission and had great success. I tried to swap it out too with an 06 accord tranny but the transmission speed sensor wouldn't bolt up to it so I had to stick with a 02 TL tranny. It's shifting like butter but the swap can be done with little to no modification.

Get an 06-07 Honda accord v6 transmission. Try to get one with low miles and all you have to do is swap out the entire oil cooler warmer assembly, range switch, and the small 3&4 gear pressure switch harness.

Yeah, the picture is from the front of the car and it is the U shapped hose. Its a little trick because there is a bit of difference in the two pipe diameters. But I found a flexable hose with an internal diameter roughly the size of the smaller pipe, and then worked it around the bigger one. Just make sure you have good hose clamps

Yep anybody can do it but you have to do it when swapping the transmission with a different model than ours. There is not a spot on the new transmission for the power steering speed sensor. I have driven with mine like that for 7,000 miles and I love the way it feels.
