Default Gen6 3.0 convert to Manual. Is it reliable in the long run?

For the Gen6 3.0 convert to Manual, if doing everything perfect. would there be any problems or side-effect will most likely to get into in the long run?
Second though, what would be the BEST bolt-on Swap for a 6gen? CL..? Thanks

It should be fine if doen with all OEM parts. You can swap in the Type S 6spds from the CL and TL. Theres already a few done and -RedneckDave- is doing his right now. Go visit v6p.net for more info.

-The 6spd tranny only avilable in 03' so it might expensive?
-Let say i only convert it to a 5spd w/ (?) tranny.
Then Do they make any aftermarket clutches or flywheels or whatever else you would need to have a higher horsepower application? What kind of horsepower can a stock one handle? i'll just Supercharged it probably instead of turbo.
-See for the Civic's they got like the TypeR piston and other application what about for us?

I have only found one person making aftermarket clutches and they are around 400 dollars. As for flywheels I think comptech has one but it is really expensive. As for the tranny they are really expensive even if you find a used one. And if you were to buy a new one from acura be prepared to pay about $5k for the trans alone. For aftermarket internals you are a bit out of luck unless you want to pay for custom pistons and rods. Good luck if you decide to do this because it is not that easy and I can tell you from experience that you will need to have a lot of money in order to do this.

THANKS MUCH redneckDave, that's exactly my questions. If they would made the accord stuff is more interchangable like the B-series that would be a bless! Even more aftermarket interal parts!
Hum....i am thinking if i should still convert it to a manual then supercharged it AND it wont be very fast afterward+too $ to buy aftermartket. But i really like the COupe TAIL !
