How to put a 01 Acura TL 3.2 V6 5 speed Auto in 98 3.0 V6 Accord
Ok Honda experts I have a 1998 Accord 3.1 with a 4 speed automatic transmission in it that went out. I had a friend give me a new rebuilt 5 speed tranny out of a 01 Acura TL 3.2 V6. I would like to put the 5 speed in the 98 Accord. Is this possible and what do I need to do?

not 100% sure on some of this but:
Mechanically it will mount up to the J30A1 and drop right in...
**I know this for a fact, 100%, it will mount up and drop right in.
Electronically, it may not work 100%. The J30A1 ECU most likely will not completely run that 5-speed auto. It's set up to run a 4 speed, not a 5 speed.
**Not 100% sure on this one.
Could you use a ECU for a 5-speed auto? -- maybe. But, then you will need the engine harness from a 3.2 or 3.5 litre. J30A1 has no knock sensor, the 3.2 and 3.5 litre engines do have a knock sensor...so you may run into issues there?
