When this Accord 2 door v6 manual came out I really loved it 😍 it was my dream car , but I couldn’t afford it I was a teenager by then. And now I have a 2014 HFP 3.5 v6 manual I’m so proud ,, happy,, and Blessed to have it,, oh vetch just kicked in yo 😅😂🤣🤣
They are such a joy to drive! Grew up with my parents driving Honda and Acura products. I first fell in love with the manual V6 combo when my dad got his 06 TL. While for my first car I wasn’t able to trace down the right TL 6spd for my budget, I did land an 03 Accord 6-6 and could not have been happier! Everyone that drives it can’t get enough of it! So much so that my friend who I let drive it just picked ip an 03 CL-S 6spd…the ultimate rare Honda/Acura v6 manual
I had a 07 accord V6 Coupe. It was an automatic but I was gonna manual swap it to the 6 speed but before that happened it was totaled but I hope to get another one soon with the manual! I really loved that car
I have only ever seen three manual V6 sedans for sale, ever. The first i saw, i contacted the seller and he told me it was a one per dealer allocation. They weren't special-order but it was a limited production spec that was allocated one per dealer and they got it whether they wanted it or not. The second one i ever saw, I bought one month ago. The third one, is currently for sale in Seattle WA for $7000USD.
Good video! One correction. The 6-spd was carried over to the '04-'06 TL non-Type S. The Type S got a different transmission technically. The bellhousing is different so it won't mount to the J30A4 or J30A5 blocks. The '04-'06 TL J32A3 block non-Type S transmission swaps right over and gives you limited slip diff. The two things to look put for to see if it's a 6-spd is the rear red V6 badge, as well as the wheels. Those wheels only came on the '03-'05 6-spds. The '06-'07 Accord 6-spd sedans and coupes got the wide spoke wheels carried over from the 2nd Gen '01-'03 TL/CL Type S's. I always compare this Accord's engine to the '95 BMW M3 US S50B30 3.0L I6. Very similar outputs but the J30AX gets much better gas mileage. Oh, one other thing. Many people were upset the '98-'02 Accord V6 didn't come with a manual. Some actually swapped theirs to manual trans. You could do that by getting a 5-spd manual transmission from the 1st Gen Acura Legend '86-'90.

I just my got my first real job out of college and I wasn't interested in a poorly put together Ford Mustang and the Camaro at the time had went out of production. The Accord V6 and the newly introduced at the time Infiniti G35 was just too pricey at the time, but I had the opportunity to buy a blue 5 speed manual Accord LX coupe (yes, a 4 cyl 5 speed manual was available at the time). Ended getting up a silver 03 Accord coupe lx automatic in Nov 2002. Yes, the LX plastic wheel covers left much to be desired, but still a good car. Drove it to 180,000 miles before selling it.
Have had one of these cars for a while now did quite a few things such as swapping a Tl 3.2 with a laundry list of mods done to it a upgraded clutch coil overs adjustable control arms wider wheels with sticky tires just to name a few things and honestly if you put a little bit of money into them they are a really fun car to drive up in the mountains and every day to work
Those sound like just the right mods. I thought the same. Adding just a little more performance and this thing could be very capable. Plus the daily duty is no challenge.

Definitely get the timing belt done for sure…the interval is so long you’ll be happy to have all those worry free miles afterwards. Car is certainly worth it.
This is a great video just bought one in Fort Lauderdale FL, the same color the same year except it has a rear spoiler, the Honda guy at the dealership said it was a special edition I am not sure if it is or not, I have been driving manuals for 35 years and will do so for the rest of my life I hate auto transmissions is like having two engines to worry about the main engine and the complex auto transmission no thanks if you are a manual driver you understand the endless savings and benefits of manual.

I've owned two of these. In my experience this car definitely isn't in the same class as the enthusiast-oriented Honda's you've mentioned such as the S2000 and the NSX. For example, while the 6-speed manual in the Accord is nice, the unit in the S2000 is far superior. I also prefer rear wheel drive for spirited driving. But the 7th gen Accord Coupe V6 6MT was designed to be a great all-around sporty car (not a sports car) and that's exactly what it is. Fun in its own way.
I have my NightHawkBlackPearl 04 Accord EXV6 Sedan only 86,800. Its on my channel should post a video of its elegant interior with the Factory accessory wood trim upgrade and auto/Day night mirror with compass. The 7th Gen Accords are my favorite.

I need to look close for sure.. ty foir the video
Is yours a manual? If so, you got a great deal if the condition of the car is also fantastic. Maintenance would be the next item…especially timing belt and water pump having recently been done. Seems like you got a very solid deal.
@@autoobsessivegarage yeah he said he just did the timing belt and also the water pump I'm going to be getting the car in hand probably within the hour or less I will have to you guys and maybe you can help me walk through it and check everything that needs to be checked on it

Honda solved the autotragic problem with this Accord. The 99-03 TL/CL guys are always looking to steal the autos from this car to theirs since theirs as well as the 98-02 Accord automatics blowing up left and right.
@@autoobsessivegarage I'm always one of the guys in the CG chassis FB groups that tell those asking about the autos to delete it and get a manual jokingly while being somewhat serious. They either laugh or think I'm talking shit. It's up to their own discretion lol.

Great video thank you very much...do you guys hear about this, using premium gas in the J30A4 from a 6 6 , it's good for another 10 hp and 10-plus lbs.-ft. , acknowledges V-6 engineer Yasuaki Asaki.
I’ve heard that before . I put premium in before the test…thing was moving.
I have the coupe 6-6 7 gen I didn’t know that
I have the 2004 coupe 6-6 silver.
Hey so I looked up this video because i just bought one... Mine is in amazing good condition... 170000mi and drives like as bat out of hell. All things like the ac and everything working fine and I only paid 3500 for it so I am seriously wondering if i got an amazing deal or if i am missing something and there is a major issue i am unaware of. I need to look close for sure.. ty foir the video
Is yours a manual? If so, you got a great deal if the condition of the car is also fantastic. Maintenance would be the next item…especially timing belt and water pump having recently been done.
Seems like you got a very solid deal.
@@autoobsessivegarage yeah he said he just did the timing belt and also the water pump I'm going to be getting the car in hand probably within the hour or less I will have to you guys and maybe you can help me walk through it and check everything that needs to be checked on it
@@autoobsessivegarage hey so i have the car and the only thing wrong with it ( serriosuly ) is that second gear syncro isn't right so it kicks out of gear sometimes.. that a big deal to fix?
@@numberz6597i had the same issue, but it’s typically the 3d gear pop out.
Switch over to “AC Delco” transmission synchromesh oil
See if that helps. I ended up rebuilding the transmission because of the synchros, later to find out i could’ve just switched over to that oil. Its more of a temporary fix
Honda solved the autotragic problem with this Accord. The 99-03 TL/CL guys are always looking to steal the autos from this car to theirs since theirs as well as the 98-02 Accord automatics blowing up left and right.
Yeah I remember the NSX tail light Accords just eating transmissions.
@@autoobsessivegarage I'm always one of the guys in the CG chassis FB groups that tell those asking about the autos to delete it and get a manual jokingly while being somewhat serious. They either laugh or think I'm talking shit. It's up to their own discretion lol.
@@thatloudCG5 I know a few with a busted auto tranny for 99-03 TL/CLs as well as 03-05 Accord. This same issue also plagued the 03-05 Accord V6 as well as it wasn't sorted out until 2005.2 V6 Accord. BTW I had the 2003 CL-S with 6 speed manual therefore, I was saved from the auto transmission blowing up.
I have a 2006 v6 sedan but it’s an automatic I want to manual swap it
I’m assuming it’s possible. Totally changes the driving experience.
Red V6 emblem is canada?
Apparently only the Coupes have the red V6 badge. Not sure on markets outside the US.
Sou do Brasil e não vou conseguir ter um desse 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That's not good. You guys certainly got some really sweet cars that we didn't get here in the US.
Com certeza não!!
@@autoobsessivegaragequal o modelo de carro vc gosta daqui do Brasil??
CM8
Thank you sir, that's the chassis code for the 2-Door Accor. So many engine/chassis codes floating around in my brain.
@@autoobsessivegarage hey loved my CM7 but always wanted the V6 power. I now have a CV2. Boost wins.
The coupe
No
The 6-6 sedan
Yes
Final verdict
Fair enough...the sedan is a little cooler.
@@autoobsessivegarage and I am so sorry I was responding to you like I was with you in the video.
I mean to say the coupe is easy to find.
It’s the 6-6 sedans that’s the complicated find.
Redline reviews did a 6-6 sedan review many years ago and it’s a gold video please watch it on my behalf 😀😀
@@jayscul-de-sac6820 No worries at all, I've seen that vid and it was very solid. Agreed the sedans are quite a bit more rare, but the coupes are still rare as well. I see one for sale every 6 months or so...but they are not even in this condition.
