Manual V6?

Would it be possible to swap the accord coupe v6 manual in to our car or the tl type s if so how much money are we looking at and how bad would it impact reliability?

A J35 match to a manual is possible, but I'd bet the internal support within the TSX would cause problems. And if you did get past that, you got ECU problems, problems with the shifter, clutch, etc.

Just hound Honda with a daily email of making more V6's manuals.

^nah, I'd think the only problem you would run into was ECU.

well if I did do that I would definitely be doing the ecu upgrade for the jseries that has recently become available. How much do you think the tranny would cost like the tl-s one not including the labor to swap it.

^price it out!


go to OEMacuraparts.com

you'll need lots of stuff.
call a shop and ask if they've ever done a honda MT swap before.
then you could start getting ideas on whats what.

research past threads on here about manual swaps.
there has been several 3G TL MT swaps.
look at those threads.
compare.
price out.
talk to paul from av6

you'll need to talk to some one whose done a 3G TL MT swap.
Paul from AV6 does these swaps.
he could get you a part list.
he even can do the swap for you.

if I have time, I'll dig up these threads for you.

this my friend, requires a lot of research and threads digging. i think it is possible, but will cost you a penny or 2.

sounds great I'll try and do some digging myself I'll probably go down to Tony Fuchs when I get a chance and ask him how much work he thinks it will be.

This will cost way over 4k in parts and labor. Better off trading in your car for a tl with the manual tranny. Plus they sound awesome:
