New Trans for the V6

[notyouraveragegirl]

Ok... ...my other question related to my previous thread:

That year (98) V6 wasn't available in manual transmission as far as I know - is there a standard (5 or 6speed) tranny that will fit this motor -- or do i have to suck it up and live with an automatic?

[GScivic7]

do you know the engine code?

[notyouraveragegirl]

i believe its J30A1 (3.0L USDM SOHC VTEC V6 98 Accord V6)

[GScivic7]

I asked a few people and since there hasn't been a manual tranny that was built for that motor or any similar motors that you are stuck with the auto.

I was thinking though, you might be able to fab up an adapter plate so that the bell housing bolts up to the motor, but I still don't know what tranny you would use.

well crap - if i can't figure this one out there's no use doing the V6 swap

hey thanks for your help : ) I'll hold out a little hope, anyway

I thought the 01+ CL Type-S used a J series motor (J32A2?) and a 6-speed manual? Does that transmission not bolt up to the J30A1?

[GScivic7]

Is it a J series motor? More than likely it'll bolt up to it if it is. The Type S did come with a 6 speed, I have no clue what motor it used though. J32 could essentially be a bored out J30.

Ive seen ride of Ludegurl in prelude forum. I think it is an accord v6 with 6 speed tranny.

yeah i thought so too but then i put out a parts request for the tranny and hit a brick wall when i could only find CL trannies for the 4-cylinder

maybe it just was a bad luck week


HEY JDMGirly - is that engine code J30A1?

thanks for these little rays of sunshine, guys!! It looks like my plans are going to work out after all

This is not JDMgirly but yes that 3.0 honda v6 up there is J30A1.

Are you trying to swap from auto tranny to 6 speed?

Try this link http://www.ecoparts.com/locations.htm for your part request. I think they're the largest auto wrecking junkyard in the US and they will find and ship the part to your door.

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER !
