I love this generation Acura TL/CL vehicles. The interior alone just felt incredible, & Acura was really showing of the 3.2L J-series V6 with 260HP & 232TQ. Really impressive at the time!
Add headers, exhaust and intake and you'll love it! Mine has that plus light weight pullies and ported intake and p2r plenum. That thing flat gets it even at 195k
@@tonyblackburn5002 definately adding power under the hood for the summer but that factory all motor 3.2 pull sounds soooo unique im debating exhaust. Lil sleeper approach 😉
@@jeanhenriquez1986 I have Tanabe on one and comptech on the other and like em both. My comptech car is a bit snapier but also has more performance mods.
I have same exact car minus navigation. Pure 6 speed car. It really was ahead of it's time and the manual transmission is what set it apart. Very fast car and great handling
I have mine sitting in the driveway. Bought it with 28K and it now has 248K. Still original clutch. It's been off the road for 3 years. But I just can't get rid of it. Planning to replace the motor, clutch, and a bunch more. The 6 speed is so smooth. I miss it! Such a great vehicle and an odd one at that! Can't wait to drive it again. I'm going to make it a project for by boys to bring it back to life.
I have a black 6-speed manual with nav. I love it. I remember getting a brochure for an 2003 model from the dealership. I forgot all about them when I needed another quick. Found mine at a dealership in Stone Mountain, Ga. only thing I hate is the color black. Other than that, been a damn good car.
Really clean Type-S! I have a white ‘03 CL with an automatic transmission and bought it a year ago when it had 80k miles. I keep it super clean. It is a really reliable car (other than having to get a remanufactured transmission at 88k miles because the previous owner never had the fluid changed 🙃). Other than that, the CL is a unicorn and a great find
Thanks for the videos subbed. There are pretty much no videos on the cl type s manual. They are definitely the rarest I think even more rare then the tl sh-awd manual since they are 16-17 years old now. Of the 800 in your configuration I think maybe 25 percent are left since many have been wrecked and totaled. You even have the onstar mirror lol. I never have seen that other then the 02-03 tl type s until Your car
The CL-S with the six speed is even more rare than the Integra Type R! I have one with no heavy nav unit. Besides concept cars and whatnot, it's the rarest Acura in existence :)
Gotta love the older acuras. The Legends with 5sp and later the 6sp are seriously fun cars! The CL was awesome and they just came at the wrong time because people had gotten away from that type of car. Comptech had a supercharger and all the brake upgrades that made it fun on the track too! Thanks for sharing!
By buddy has one of these but it’s a 01 automatic. That thing has 224k miles and it’s been in like 2 small accidents and one that’s was a kinda bad. But it’s still running. Honda’s are warriors man.
Yeah Honda's are bullet proof. I had a '90 legend coupe 5 speed as well that I ran up to about 320,000 miles before I sold it and it was still running like a top when I sold it. I love Honda motors.
It's really nice to see a car like this so well kept. I find the older Honda/Acura models to be much more enticing than the overly tech-laden vehicles on offer today. The looks of the CL never exactly appealed to me, but it still looks better than anything being made now. I'm still surprised that they didn't sell more of these. Honda makes great manual transmissions - they are getting harder to find but are worth holding out for in my opinion.
I just picked up a 03 CLS6 white over tan leather with nav, 1 of 15 produced in that configuration to complement my 1 of 1400ish tl shawd 6mt, living the dream!
I’ve had the same car since 2010 in white, no navigation. At 154K the motor is still strong, uses no oil. For me it’s the perfect all-around car, fun to drive, easy to maintain, lets me shift. Have all maintenance records since new, the only thing that has broken was the steering rack, replaced it about 8 years ago. The car is bulletproof, always willing and never breaks. Not sure why they are unloved by the Honda/Acura community, but I won’t be parting with mine until Acura builds another coupe, but it’ll have to be good!
Keep that forever! The ones with no nav are even more rare than the one shown here, and the 03 CL-S six speed is actually more rare than the Integra Type R! Lol or sell it to me for $4,000 Mine could use a sister.
I've had mine since 2004. Anthracite 6MT Navi. Now 165k. Love it. I get notes left on the car to buy it. Your paint looks great, repaint?. My clearcoat is shot on tops. Have the spoiler too which I never liked. Enjoy your CLS!
Beautiful car. If driven right, you'll never have to replace the clutch. When it comes to the clutch, it's all the way off or all the way on. Never half way or in the middle, meaning push the clutch all the way to the floor when shifting.

Looks a lot like my 4-door 2003 Acura 3.2 TL! I love it, bought it in Feb 2020 with 117,000 miles, at $4,500. A worthy investment, I hope! Much better owning it outright than a lease on a 2020 of most other brands. Loving Goldie, my amazing TL, your cool CL, and this little Acura community. My only complaint... my air conditioning in the 03 TL isn't blowing great. I put a canister of EZ Cool Refrigerant into it and its better, but is it worth checking at the mechanic. It's not super cold.
Bro I had 2003 Acura CL-S 6speed manual transmission... bought in 2004.... loved it! Still one of my favorites! I clocked it at 14.5 sec in the 1/4 mile.... I miss it so much.... F*** Acurazine forum they suck....
Only about 3500 ever made cl type s 6speed. This car is rare, stock brakes are weak, check the trunk under the spare tire usually after a rainstorm it will have a puddle of water...bad factory weld job...I found on the passenger rear corner near the tail light. Other than that a solid car, add V2 AEM intake and exhaust make the car real fun to drive. Can slap on slightly wider tires with 100 treadwear on stock rims to get better grip, can get tein coilovers which will drop it 2.5 inches. Tanabe exhaust is available for this car.
The golden age of Acura...what a gem! Forget about the Integra, RSX, TSX and everything else by Honda/Acura. This car has speed, power, luxury, and is totally under the radar. I am looking for a rare low mileage (50-100k miles) one as a second fun car, and willing to pay good dollar for it. Lets keep this awesome car a secret.
I bought one brand new in late 2002. It was also a manual drive with sunroof, but I didn’t have the navigation. It was black and I really enjoyed driving with the short shift. I always got compliments, because it was so different. I don’t know why Acura stopped making the CL after 2003.
I owned one for 4 years. Got it with 81K and was totaled by a deer at 197K. Only replaced front brakes @140K and timing belt items @ 155K. Most reliable car I have ever owned. I’ve owned Toyota and Honda’s mostly.
2001 typeS is what I got, now I’m thinking I should I got the manual which had available to me had to do a $2300 transmission on it I’m at 195k love it I think
I do like that color, my CL M6 is silver the most common color. Bought mine with 87k miles, dont drive it in the winter and will probably keep it forever. FYI that s not the stock shifter.
Call me crazy but you got me wondering if the plastics they put on the engine (usually on the intake plenum) offer any sort of heat protection for your hood paint. I had only thought this because I noticed there was no heat blanket on the bottom side of your hood and the paint looked quite nice
I own a 09 tl sh awd as well as a 03 cl type s (auto)... But definitely two of the rarest Acuras made. Been keeping my eyes open for a 08 tl type s just to complete my collection. But your cl might be the only one I've seen that's as clean as mine. Definitely well maintained 💯
It's actually the Titanium Shift Knob from the Honda S2000 and the boot just sits naturally in place. It's not actually connected to the knob, but it looks great.
@@zuccsucc I've had mine on for about a year with no cat and still runs like a champ I think it gained a little bit more power but nothing too crazy Highly recommend 👌
I really miss my 03 I bought with 24 miles, would you possibly part with that one? I missed mine so much I bought a 2001 but I would really rather have the stick instead of the auto.

There's a 2003 CL S type automatic Acura with 80k miles asking $5800. I think its a bit too much.. ive heard nothing but horror stories on automatic transmission models. Currently own an 05 Honda accord ex coupe..
Yeah the autos were great, but around 45k miles many of them needed a full rebuild/replacement. Some people would swap them out for other trans from Honda accords I believe.
I replaced the clutch/flywheel, clutch slave cylinder, both Front Wheel bearings, brakes, belts, right front control arm, spark plugs, power steering line, alternator bracket and tires. Most of this is basic maintenance. The biggest expense was the clutch/flywheel replacement due to the dual mass flywheel being so high priced. I knew going into buying this car it was going to need a new clutch so it was not unexpected. I do not anticipate doing many or any major repairs to this car going forward. I previously had a 1990 Acura Legend 5 speed and I drove that until it had 320,000 miles on the odometer and I only had to do basic maintenance on it. The car was running like a top when I sold it. Acura/Hondas in my opinion are very well made and if treated properly will run forever.
I got mine last year with 111,000 for $4900, pretty clean with a little bit of rust in the rear quarter panel, oh well. It’s got 133,000 now. This thing is a perfect daily 6 speed gang wya
Rare is nice, but parts are hard to find. I bought a wrecked one for 700$ and swapped everything over to my 03 TLS. Reason? Just wanted to be different. 🤷🏻♂️

I recently gave up on my Challenger as it had to have Multiple Sclerosis too the windows would be playing with the other going up down up down all night killing my battery I love domestics always will but I always loved the two door accord so obviously I love the CL as it was designed from the 2d accord
@@calico45 Not yet, I plan to check out & test drive both CLs I've found; the red 180K one and the grey 136k one. I'm hoping for the grey one as I'm not much of a red car guy, though I will make an execption for a red Corvette, Ferrari or Lamborghini. Sorry to hear about your MS; that's my aunt's disease. She drives a BMW 525i if I remmeber correct because it's easier on her joints than say my uncle's Ford Taurus SHO. And I've heard the CL's automatic is prone to failure, so that’s why I'm specifically looking for a manual one. I'm also looking at a 5th generation Honda Prelude (also manual) which is a car I have a special history with. As the 6-speed CL Type-S is rarer, I might go with one of them first.

ay ur in tacoma?? just got a 6speed 03 type s it’s great, i live by tcc lol
Lol I just noticed that as well! He drove over “Galloping Gertie” Tacoma Narrows bridge!
Love the cl have one in dark grey
03 6spd 131k. What clutch
Did you go with, and your exhaust set up, thank you.
Pretty cool i have the same car but mines black and you live in Washington you even have onstar which is super rare! Mine has 307k
hoping to get an automatic dark gray one as my first car... one day...
I got a 01 I love my car
I’m lucky to have a 03 type s manual motor in my miata
Call me crazy but you got me wondering if the plastics they put on the engine (usually on the intake plenum) offer any sort of heat protection for your hood paint. I had only thought this because I noticed there was no heat blanket on the bottom side of your hood and the paint looked quite nice
Rare!? My mom had this as her first car so she’s luck hehe
I want a CL-S 6 speed so bad, but they are so hard to find around me.
U should definitely build that car into a beast
I own a 09 tl sh awd as well as a 03 cl type s (auto)... But definitely two of the rarest Acuras made. Been keeping my eyes open for a 08 tl type s just to complete my collection. But your cl might be the only one I've seen that's as clean as mine. Definitely well maintained 💯
Thanks! I'm on the look out for an '07/'08 Tl Type S 6spd as well. Would love to add that to my collection. Hope you can find one soon too!
Fantastic
Love it
Did you change the shift knob to the rsx aspec one? How did you get the shiftboot to fit?
It's actually the Titanium Shift Knob from the Honda S2000 and the boot just sits naturally in place. It's not actually connected to the knob, but it looks great.
Really miss mine sold it for cheap regret it big time
how much hp does cold air intake and headers add?
have you done anything with the exhaust?
No nothing to the exhaust, just removed the catalytic converter and put in a straight/test pipe.
The Acura Guy how’s that test pipe working? Is it that bad for the engine? I was thinking of doing the same thing to mine
@@zuccsucc I've had mine on for about a year with no cat and still runs like a champ I think it gained a little bit more power but nothing too crazy
Highly recommend 👌
Zack E I ended up taking the cat off- I have performance mufflers and the moment that vtec cracks the car is roaring. Definitely a great idea
@@zuccsucc did a catback on mine til the cat finally clogged up and said f it and put just mufflers on it and it sounds pretty good 👍
What do you have done with the exhaust? I have an 02 cl and want to do some mods so what would you recommend?
I really miss my 03 I bought with 24 miles, would you possibly part with that one? I missed mine so much I bought a 2001 but I would really rather have the stick instead of the auto.
Hey Ryan,
I am selling an '03 CL Type-S 6 Speed Manual in excellent condition. You can watch a video walkthrough of the car here: ua-cam.com/video/IJGizVJAWvg/v-deo.html
I bough this in April for $11,900 cash. I did the timing belt/water pump ($1,200) , installed two mint condition OEM headlight assemblies and had them clear coated($900), and the odometer is now at 122,000.
I am selling it for $10,000 solely because I am need of the cash. Contact me if you are interested 734x818x9944.
Hey man I have a 2001 cl type-s what intake do u have
I need this exact spec if anyone is selling or knows of one being sold. HAS to be OG 2003 manual WITH navi. HAS to be black interior.
i used to have one in blue
6 spd no nav
There's a 2003 CL S type automatic Acura with 80k miles asking $5800. I think its a bit too much.. ive heard nothing but horror stories on automatic transmission models. Currently own an 05 Honda accord ex coupe..
Yeah the autos were great, but around 45k miles many of them needed a full rebuild/replacement.
Some people would swap them out for other trans from Honda accords I believe.
More please
More mods
I have one and know the woes...
hope you see this, but how loud is this car/ how loud can you make it?
How much for it?
I’m selling my white cl type s manual with 89k miles for $17900
I have the 2001 cl-type-S 2 door tranny slipping I believe again
what work did you have to do since you owned it? and what do you expect to do?
I replaced the clutch/flywheel, clutch slave cylinder, both Front Wheel bearings, brakes, belts, right front control arm, spark plugs, power steering line, alternator bracket and tires. Most of this is basic maintenance. The biggest expense was the clutch/flywheel replacement due to the dual mass flywheel being so high priced. I knew going into buying this car it was going to need a new clutch so it was not unexpected. I do not anticipate doing many or any major repairs to this car going forward. I previously had a 1990 Acura Legend 5 speed and I drove that until it had 320,000 miles on the odometer and I only had to do basic maintenance on it. The car was running like a top when I sold it. Acura/Hondas in my opinion are very well made and if treated properly will run forever.
@@theacuraguy1601 right on, thanks for the reply. happy driving
2003 dont have the bottom fog lights ….
I got mine last year with 111,000 for $4900, pretty clean with a little bit of rust in the rear quarter panel, oh well. It’s got 133,000 now. This thing is a perfect daily
6 speed gang wya
Right here bro I got one In red
Rare is nice, but parts are hard to find. I bought a wrecked one for 700$ and swapped everything over to my 03 TLS. Reason? Just wanted to be different. 🤷🏻♂️
I just found on with 180K on the odometer with the 6-speed, should I go for it?
I'm buying a cl for 2400 it has 196k miles
@@calico45 Cool. I found another one with 136k for $11,000. Do you think that’s a high price? It's another 6-speed too BTW.
@@MichaelD8393 In my opinion too high the seller must have a romantic strong hold a I love u but f u I don't like you type of relationship if the price was tops 8k that s understanding. I saw one i think o ebay with 83k for 6500 it was clean!!! I see in my area CLs with 140k going for effing 3800 and I cringe and the nice caring lovin' wouldn't hurt a fly human being in me wants to beat the brakes off the Captain Dick butt who over charged me for mine but I admit I love my ride. I don't think il be doing any cosmetics no spoiler maybe drop it a inch with spacers a purring exhaust not DEFINITELY NOT a loud ass look at me with murder on the mind looks and definitely a intake. My car came with the black out brake light covers and nice head lights. I'm looking to gank fog lights from a 01 02 CL
@@MichaelD8393 Did u go for the 180k you mentioned? Btw only downfall of my silver CL is it effing automatic I hate that but I'm blessed I have MS it sucks cats dicks but at least I can walk and no longer have to walk places. I recently gave up on my Challenger as it had to have Multiple Sclerosis too the windows would be playing with the other going up down up down all night killing my battery I love domestics always will but I always loved the two door accord so obviously I love the CL as it was designed from the 2d accord
@@calico45 Not yet, I plan to check out & test drive both CLs I've found; the red 180K one and the grey 136k one. I'm hoping for the grey one as I'm not much of a red car guy, though I will make an execption for a red Corvette, Ferrari or Lamborghini. Sorry to hear about your MS; that's my aunt's disease. She drives a BMW 525i if I remmeber correct because it's easier on her joints than say my uncle's Ford Taurus SHO. And I've heard the CL's automatic is prone to failure, so that’s why I'm specifically looking for a manual one. I'm also looking at a 5th generation Honda Prelude (also manual) which is a car I have a special history with. As the 6-speed CL Type-S is rarer, I might go with one of them first.

GET RID OF this car if you have it with an automatic. They are the worst transmissions ever made. Heed this advice, or you will be sorry AF. You can confirm this with a little digging online.
You just love to hear yourself talk, don’t you ?
Lol. Do you need a lesson on what walk-through videos are??
