Automatic 2007 TL Type S transmission in a 2006 TL base model?
My buddy's transmission in his 2006 TL base model automatic is slipping pretty bad. We know of somebody selling an automatic transmission out of a 2007 TL Type S for pretty cheap.
Will this 07 Type S tranny be compatible with his 06 base model?
Thanks in advance!

rebuilding a tranny cost anywhere from $1500 - 2000. and that is essentially what you would be doing...rebuilding the 2006 with 2007 internals...
it wouldnt make sense cost wise to do so.

Unfortunately not.
Well, the guy is willing to sell him the type S tranny for $500. We would be swapping internals ourselves.

that's if the internals fit into the transmission case. No one's ever done what you are proposing...
it still doesnt make sense cost wise.
sure, the tranny may be a steal at $500...but if you have to spend hours and hours and hours worth of headaches, it's not worth it
it'll be easier and cheaper to grab the correct tranny in the first place

the Type S transmission is a RL variant and it is a no go in the base cars from an electrical and mechanical pov.. you would need the entire engine/trans assembly along with the ECU and associated harnesses.

Mr. Detail
Actually, a full master kit rebuild (the only type anyone should get) plus the Trans Lab shift kit which addresses the known Honda/Acura V6 automatic transmission issues is in the $2500 range. And its worth adding an aftermarket transmission cooler since the OEM design is pretty crappy. The Trans Lab shift kit made a huge improvement in consistent shift feel on my car.

just add $500.
