im done with auto lol and if i can find the right parts it would be the same price for me to do the mt swap

 

Should have gone right in the first place... AV6 Auto was THE ONLY way to go when Auto is concerned..

 

can i only use parts from a 03 cl type s 6mt or can i use other trans from say a accord 5/6speed?

 

The CL-S only came 6MT in 03'..

 

My understanding is that if you go with the Accord M/T then you will lose the LSD.

 

Well it's been a while guys so I figure I'll do a little update for everyone. Took me a couple months to find the right one but I bought a 03 cl-s 6mt that runs and drives for about 1200 all said in done after the dilevery fees. Bought it from an auction site online and it should be arriving late this week or early next week. So I started prepping the tl to be torn down so I can swap all the necessary parts over to my car and have a nice tl-s that's a 6 speed ��

 

Started with the interior first for today and I'll slowly move to the engine bay by this week end but I'm stoked to have this car back lol

 

SWEEET! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

 

You're swapping in the majority of the CL-S interior?
If so, sweet, I believe that swap has been done a few times.
Your TL came with GPS or is that an aftermarket unit?
Been looking for the full OEM TL GPS setup for awhile, myself.

 

yeah it came with the gps but i dont use it lol and the screen is messed up so its not much good other than filling the space there lol

 

If the CL has no NAV, swap over the A/C controls and dump the TL NAV. Just kicking around thoughts

 

You gonna do full engine/trans swap or keep the TL motor?

 

it doesnt so i might do that lol

 

gonna keep my 3.5 for now since it has about 10ok less miles lol and just use it as a back up motor for another day

 

Oh dur. Forgot you did the j35 already

 

Please, PLEEEEEEEASE take lots and lots of pics! Snap pics of everything lol!

The pinned 6MT thread is missing all of its pics for documentation.

 

If you are willing/able to pull the full gps system, minus the screen, I will buy it off you.

Let me know, thanks.
​​​​​

 

yeah man i can do that just let me know what all parts i need to remove and we can set up something when i get time to pull it all out

also the screen works its just the part beneath the touch panel has been slow cracking and chipping off but there is a black dot in the center of the screen as well but again it still works just not the best looking piece as seen in the above pics but i know you can get a new screen for a decent price

 

lol yeah ive noticed that and its kinda irritating but yeah ill take lot of pics and such to maybe make a new dedicated thread that might get pinned again with pics this time haha

 

Awesome, thanks, will check online and see if I can find the full parts list.

I can find a screen replacement, that is easy enough. Are you keeping the same dash panel/HVAC setup for the GPS or switching to the non-GPS dash/HVAC setup? I only ask, so that I know if I will have to find the dash panel/HVAC control setup for GPS.

I am in no rush, so, sure, whenever you have time to pull it is fine.

Will get that part list to you asap.

 

ill be switching over to the standard ac controls so you will get the whole dash piece etc only thing you should need would be a new screen

i might even swap over to the new dash to make it a little more easy lol

 

Major props to you and moreso to your wife for supporting this and helping you. She's a keeper!

 

Appreciate that, thank you.

Glad to see you sticking with this project, should be even more of a blast once the engine/tranny swap is done.

 

What new dash are you referring to?

 

the new cl dash. im pretty sure it should be the same

 

 

Sell it to a local junk yard with the motor minus the parts you took for $500 and you got yourself a pretty cheap conversion

 

Ugh I'm so freaking jealous you guys can't even imagine

 

you can sign up on erepairables.com and get a one year pass for 200 and the browse around the local areas for a 6mt cl-s for yourself lol just takes time. me and my father are driving 9 there and 9 hours back to go get this car on Thursday, its in Chicago heights IL and we live in north Alabama. where are you from?

 

I'm from Utah but lived in Huntsville and Decatur AL for almost a year.

 

Looks like the CL went through the same busted lower ball joint that got my 6GA written off a few years ago.

If that was all the damage my car had, I would be still driving it today, you are getting a car that looks like it's in very good shape, thankfully.

 

Yeah from the looks of it, it took a corner of a bumper to the rim and partially the front quarter panel.

 

haha i live in huntsville

and yeah im bring extra parts to get it rollable to get it on a trailer

 

Well it's home guys and it was a long 23 hour total trip lol

 

 

That's a tight fit inside that trailer.

 

And now the fun begins!

Pretty sure you should be able to have a successful part out of the car, so that should help in recouping the money you spent on getting it.

 

indeed im hoping to recoupe most if not all i invested in it lol


and yeah it was a super tight fit and fun getting it off the trailer lol the brakes were stuck so i had to pull the rear calipers off and roll it that way

 

 

Got the dash out and about to start the work on the cl now
