That's because they never existed from the factory.

Get the VIN. Easiest way to know what it originally was.

However, I'm not even finding a V6 coupe until 1998 (CG2). My data shows that the only V6 Accord before that was the 1995-1997 Accord V6 Sedan (CE6). And that vehicle only came with a Sissy-Stick both here in the US as well as in Canuckland.

Also, I haven't found any V6 Accords outside of North America.

There are no 95-02 manual v6 Accords

*edit* With the exception of the 2 heavily modified 5th Gens (1 in Canada, 1 in Texas) and the 1 or 2 modified 6th Gens (Redneck Dave and ???)

Apparently there's a typo in Helms. Honda says that there was a 5MT (P2A8) V6 Accord Coupe manufactured in 1998, but it doesn't show up in any of the other years for the gen.

Yeah, it does not exist, 2003 was the first year it was offered and came with a 6 speed.

Now the Accord's Acura counter parts DID come with a 6 speed transmission, which makes it a bit confusing. So the V6 Vigor/Legend and the CL-S came with 5/6 speed manual transmissions.

No such thing as a V6 Vigor, only came in I4 or I5 configurations. In 1995, it became the Acura 2.5TL and still carried the I5 layout until its end in 1998. It was never offered with a MT. In 1996, the TL also came out with a V6 version, but a MT wasn't an option until 2004 with the UA6 chassis.

The CL-S didn't come with a MT until the 6MT of 2003.

But the Legend had a V6 5MT Coupe as early as 1988. That's 15 years before all the others.

Are you saying the vigor never came in 5 speed manual?, If so I know for a fact they did because I almost bought one.

According to KBB, there is a 1996 Accord EX V6 Coupe 5 Speed. lmfao. Valued at 4180 in excellent condition and 3830 in good.

No. I was saying that the Vigor's successor (the 2.5TL) never came with a MT. Sorry for the confusion.

The Vigor, as we know it, only existed from 1992 to 1994. AT and MT were both available.

Sorry, it was indeed the I5 motor for the Vigor but did have a manual transmission http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_Vigor
. The Legend transmission is what was used for the 95-97 Accord V6 manual swap.

The CL-S is a similar chassis to the 98-02 Accord, which is the motor/transmission of choice for the V6 manual swaps in the 6th gen Accords.

Not saying your wrong but I tried tricking the search by applying different setups like it being an lx and stuff and the v6 engine would not show but when you apply ex it pops up as having that option. and I also checked edmunds and it also showed there as well.

sorry wrong quote but same person to quote.

Yes, the Accord EX had a V6 version. But only in a sedan, not a coupe. Try actually finding one.

Yep, only EX-V6 in sedan form. The entire front of the car is actually ~3 inches longer (hood, fenders, bumper, etc) so 4 cyl parts do not fit. You can look at the drop down on HAP and look over the different variants.

You cannot even get a new Accord V6 without it being in EX or EX-L trim.
