Doing a manual swap is kinda hard on these cars unless you have an Acura CLS6 donor. The wiring is what makes it difficult to bolt a 6-spd to the J30a1. You could try finding an automatic J32a2 and any one of the transmissions below to make life a little easier:
03-07 Accord V6 MT (NO LSD)

What power steering pump did you go with? My CLS power steering pump moans/squeaks a little at start up and goes away after while. I was looking at OEM pumps but they're all $1000o_O
That's strange that your valves need adjusting after 36k miles....out of curiosity what oil are you using? I've been using Rotella T6 5W30 and don't notice any ticking. I'll try and pay attention to see if I notice anything.
That slave cylinder was the heeltoe with the CDV work done to it...
Man this wasn't the future I had in my mind. I remember I was looking to get an NA1 NSX right before COVID hit when they were 45k or an E60 M5 6MT when they were 25k (plus anoth 25k for 6.0 stoker build). I can't justify the 70k going rate for an NSX and somehow people realized the M5 was...
Glad to see you still on here! It's crazy how fast the years go by. I still have so many plans for my CG but the urgency to get around it it has died down.
I got a 3G Type S as my daily and as much as I love that car, the headaches it's giving me are so much more trouble than my Accord ever was.
Glad to see you back homie! Sedans ftw, the nice thing about these cars is that a few mods go a long way in making them look good and parts have gotten pretty cheap. Did you cop a 5 spd?
You figured out how to program the cluster? How diffcult was it?
That underbody is cleaaaan....that reminds me, I need to go get the TLS undercoated. How pricey was the dry ice blasting?
Stick with the J swap. If you're going manual, J32/J35 swap is the best move. Having done the J32a2 swap myself, if you're going NA, do a J35. If you're going for boost stick with a J32.
Googling will get you far, especially when this forum is mostly dead now.

At this point in time, you're better off just swapping the motor with the trans. Hard to find a full CLS to swap over, but plenty of J32a2s that can mate to a 7G Accord 6mt. You'll need a standalone ecu since it's impossible to find a RichieV6 module to make the stock harness work.

Lot of custom work needs to be done to complete a K swap on these cars. Mounts, wiring, fab work etc. I know of only one that's been done to a 6thgen. You're better off swapping in the other F23 for 300
