Need help on info for a Tranny swap.

TheOGBob · Feb 8, 2011

Ohkay so I got my car back in November, and I did research on the transmission for a J30. I found no manual transmissions for a J30. Then I heard a rumor about being able to put in a J32 manual tranny on a J30 engine. I'm wondering if that rumor is true or would you have to do the whole engine swap. I also heard you would have to get a new hood for the swap. PLEASE HELP! My tranny is about to blow and I'm wondering if to save up for that tranny or get a new auto tranny instead of the swap. I know that the swap would be about $3,000-$5,000 for the whole swap.

Btw just wanted to announce that I'm new to this site and this is my first post so please don't get mad if there was already a thread on this.

Re: Tranny swap??

you can use the search function...
but yes j32 shift six will fit, and you wont need a new hood...its the tranny
or you could use a 7th gen accord 6 speed (i think, but no LSD)
and an acura tl/cl will work (i think)

I tried the search but I found nothing on that specific problem.
But the J32 tranny is the tranny from the 2003 CL-s.
But thanks, I really appreciate the help.
