03 CL-S 6MT gears compatibility with 3G manual TL

I own a TL-S 08 manual and was wondering if I could use 2nd gear from an 03 CL-S manual since I broke 2nd (yikes).

Here are the ratios that I was able to find –

CL-S 6 speed ratios:
1st - 3.933
2nd - 2.478
3rd - 1.700
4th - 1.250
5th - 0.976
6th - 0.771
Reverse - 4.008
Final Drive - 3.286

04-08 TL manual gear ratio:
1st 3.933
2nd 2.478
3rd 1.700
4th 1.250
5th 0.975
6th 0.770
Reverse 4.008
Final 3.285

Someone please confirm that I can use 2nd gear from a CLS manual on a 3g TL manual?

As I understand it, they are the exact same transmission (but potentially different differentials).
