it will fit with a little modification although you may want to keep the auto trans from the 5th gen car if possible........

I'm sure it will fit.. But not with a c27 tranny.. J30a1 trannies are weak and unreliable for most people that have them..

It may work with that trans if the bell housings are interchangeable.

Yes, i am looking into this because my tranny is going to die out on me pretty soon and i have been trying to find a new tranny for it but couldnt find any. all i could find are the 3.0L v6 motor and none of the 2.7L v6. Also, the price of getting the motor with tranny is cheaper than tranny alone.

how much for the tranny is it in good working condition like it doesnt have a kick or a jerk when it shifts? is it for the 95-97 v6 2.7L?

i would try and expand your platform search a wee bit. i know those first gen Acura Legends had the same chassis and engine, so see if you can pirate from one of those cars.
