    Looks awesome -- 00-01 PDE head too. How much did you get that H23A for?

    Whatever you do, make certain that your reverse lockout solenoid is functioning. Connect a test light to it and run it back to the cabin if you need to. When I first got my Frankenstein J-series / FK8 transmission working, I didn't have the distance set properly for the mainshaft speed sensor...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Whatchu mean about the reverse switch? Both transmissions have a physical switch for the reverse lights. 27mm socket is needed to pull the reverse light switch off the front of the J trans. There's 3x 8mm head bolts (M6x1.0 threads) that hold on the reverse lockout solenoid. This engages...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    I actually ran the CL-S seats on the Accord seat bottoms with manual recliner. I had to either drill two holes or slot a piece of steel that the seat back bolts onto. I don't remember exactly what I did. It's the type of thing that you'd be able to figure out pretty easily if you were to...

    Awesome. Yeah he CL chassis is freaking heavy lol. 3470 lbs for 2003 CL-S 6MT with Navigation System (3446 lbs without Navigation System) For comparison, my '06 Accord Sedan V6 6MT is listed 3371 lbs. What I did before to estimate what the 6g Accord would weigh was subtract the '03 CL-S 6MT...

    What made you decide to switch everything from the CL-S chassis to the Accord chassis? You may have mentioned already

    I typed it out wrong. I meant to type 2-4-6-R 1-3-5

    What about using V6 Accord dash harness?

    Oh dang, I didn't even see that you'd posted before. Here's a pic that shows different "shift levers" (Honda's name for it) The factory shift cable stay on the transmission has 3 locations (or 'slots') that the shift cables can go into, yet only two are used. Dependent upon which of these is...

    Can you please elaborate on what all you did wiring wise? Good idea on the no oil reminder. Everything is looking good. Though, I must say that it would look so much better if you had a transmission with my gears in it! -- Or even any transmission at all for that matter! haha

    Found it. I think this one shows some of the techniques for making mounts and brackets

    What's the bulkhead?

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    I'm interested to know more about this. If you get a chance, can you please snap some pictures that show the difference between the '03 CLS 6MT one vs 6g Accord V6 AT rear mount? The 7g Accord does not use a damper at all. The 3g TL 6MT has only one in the rear. The aluminum bracket that bolts...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    And here is a picture showing the '03 CL-S 6MT cross member with the 6g Accord V6 front subframe next to it, showing that it lines up. I have circled an the part on the CL-S 6MT crossmember that I think might be where the rear engine/transmission damper mounts...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    I went back and dug up my old pics from when I bought the 2003 CL-S 6MT subframe from the junkyard in March/April 2017. My recollection of what I did here is a bit fuzzy / clouded by the stress that I went through with the breakup that I had with my ex a few weeks after I took these pictures of...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    FWIW, back when I did my F2D in my '94 hatch, -- JDM F20B with my custom, close-ratio D trans -- the only mount that I had to make was the engine "timing belt" mount. The transmission mount, rear "t-bracket", axles, shift linkage, was all stock D-series. Also, I guess I should have mentioned...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    I'm still not sure if I understand why you're wanting to even bother with the innovative mounts at all. My thinking is that you could compare a CL-S 6MT subframe to the Accord subframe (whether 6g Accord V6, or 6g Accord 4cyl) and if it's possible, to just make whatever modifications are...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    The innovative mounts are flawed. I tried to reach out to them to point out their flaws and how they were causing the transmissions to fail prematurely. Here are 3 pictures that show various bosses on the J-series FWD 6MT. The first two pictures are of the transmission housing. The 3rd picture...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    I've done those. The H23A swap I had in my 6g had a franken geared setup. If you want a longer 5th, you are much better off switching over to a 4.06 final drive in the prelude transmission than you are switching to a taller, Accord 5th. Having a large gap between 4th > 5th sucks. The...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    The physical size of the shafts in the J / FK8 transmission are larger than the normal K transmission. You can hold them in your hand and it's a complete no brainer. However, none of that is going to matter unless you have gearing that pairs well with the higher revving K-series engine. --...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    This is kind of a segue to a build that I've spent a lot of time thinking about, but I guess I've never actually posted anything about it. If you've followed my J-series / FK8 transmission thread...

    J32A2 + 6MT swap in my '01 F23/H23 5MT chassis

    Thank you for offering. After I saw your response yesterday, I thought about this more when I was (trying) to go to sleep and when I was getting ready this morning (/r/shower thoughts ? Lol) and when I was driving on I-385 this morning to my shop -- I felt the accel pedal physically move while I...
