1998 TL 3.2 interchangeable parts?
Hello,
I am a new 1998 TL 3.2 owner. The car is great but needs some repairs here and there. I have read all the sticky's and done internet searches, so just know that before I ask this
For a first gen Acura 3.2 TL, where can I find what parts are interchangeable with other first gen 3.2 TL years earlier than 1998, or with the Honda Accord or other models?
When I search for parts for the "Acura 1998 TL 3.2", there is sometimes limited availability for what I am looking for, and want to know if the parts are the same for other models to expand my searches
Thanks

1996 - 1998 3.2 TL stuff is interchangeable.
The 3.2 engine is nearly identical to the 1991 - 1995 Acura Legend motor. The main difference is electronics/emissions, but the hardware is the same.
The 3.5 engine from the 1996 - 2004 RL is also related, it's basically a stroked version with higher quality and better balanced internals.
The body and interior on the 1996 - 1998 2.5 TL is mostly the same from the windshield to the rear, the engine bays and components are totally different.
If you have specific questions, please post them and we'll let you know!

Try getting one from the 91 - 95 Legend if you cant get it from a TL.
