Question about Type S shocks

Hi,
I have a quick question, could I have any problem if I use the front shocks from a manual tranny TL-S in my aut. tranny TL-S?? or are they the same shocks?? I know that the front ones has different part number and the rear has the same part number. Any advice?? Thanks!!

The TL-S manual has lower spring rates to compensate for the lighter transmission. This difference is slight. I'm not sure if the front shocks themselves are much different, but if the part numbers are different, there must be slightly softer to match the springs. They will bolt up just fine though as far as fitment.

Front shocks all the same 51605-SEP-A16 (TL-S)
Only different part numbers when purchased as a shock absorber assembly with springs included.

Are you sure about that, because I have a set of Manual TL-S and the part numbers printed are 51601-sep-a240-m1 and 51602-sep-a240-m1 and my Tl-s is automatic and has a different part numbers too.
