The swap took my mechanic a number of weeks, because of various issues that came up and of course other work that came in the shop.
Part of the issue was using a US ECU on a Canadian car, and then other hiccups.
Once that all was sorted out, it was good.
Really could be done in a weekend or two, if you have the tools/friends/know-how to diy.
The next time around for me, should go much smoother, because now we know what is needed and the donor car already has the important stuff(engine harness/ECU) required.
Technically, NO.
The bellhousing changed in 2007 for the Acura, so if you use a J35A3 with a 2007 and later Acura manual tranny, it will not bolt up w/o modification (Adapter Plate, maybe a longer drive shaft(yeah, I don't know the right term here) from the tranny to engine(?), etc).
Not so sure on the Hondas, I think the bellhousing stayed the same for the 7th gen (03-07) manual.

What he said ... on top of that, the J37s only mate to an AWD 6MT tranny.

The automatic AWD TLs use the J37 as well.

I think you missed the point I was trying to make. I am not saying AWD J37 use only MT.
What I'm saying is that the only MT that goes with a J37 is of the AWD variety.

I haven't seen anyone do a swap with an auto tranny with anything above a J35.
So, J36, J37, there are of course manual tranny options, just have to do your research for what it will take to get it done in the 6GA.

So what all would I need to swap a j35 engine with the auto tranny into my car? I was thinking the 01 oddy engine perhaps? And will it be a direct bolt up to the original mount locations?
