Default 04 v6 accord and manual tranny swap?

is this possible? taking the v6 manual tranny from the coupe and puting the v6 sedan? i know the sedan is automatic, so doing a conversion is a must. just wanted to know if it will work with shift linkage etc etc. possibly getting a v6 sedan in december honda gets a for the sedan not getting a manual tranny.

I need a sedan. i have a daugther and dont want the hassle of not having two extra doors. as for the warranty i wouldnt care if it did get voided. my cousin works at a honda dealer ship so i get service at a discount.

I have an 04 v6 sedan and have thought about it too. But when it comes down to it, you are better of just buying an 04 TL with the 6spd

dont you like the old body style better

i think the 01' generation 6th or 7th gen whatever it is, looks better than the new spaceship looking ones

why do all new cars these days look like PT cruisers?

i do like the older style better. but the matter of the fact is that we need a new car. cant buy used or certified used. i'd always had bad luck buying used cars.

Im pretty sure an Accord V6 sedan + suspension + 18's + tranny swap and everything that goes with it will put you at or above 6spd TL territory. Is this something that you would plan to do right away? Or a couple years down the line after the car is paid for or is out of warranty?

BTW I did see a few 6 spd trannies on http://car-part.com/
