I just read through the HASport PDF about the J swap and realized there are only a few compatible intermediate shafts. I am using the HASport axles and am wondering if this one will work...

EDIT: Engine and trans are from a 6 speed '05 TL. All parts came from the same car. J32A3

WOW. Good to know! I was just double checking... I thought this one would have worked.

SO Accord V6 Auto eh? What year? Model specific?

Man that would been a few hours of curses in the garage. I'm trying to get everything in order as far as bolting the motor in so I can get it in the car in one day no problem.

the reason i asked is because if you were going to put it in a ek its a little harder but your not so your good
do you have a clutch line sort of fabbed up i think its best to go ahead and get that out of the way

I took the clutch line off the frame rail yesterday along with other preparations for the swap. Removed it back to that junction on the firewall under the fuel filter. I saved everything so I can route my new one later. Worst case scenario I can make a new one with my flaring tool and clutch line.

If you take a piece of string or a roll of solder and route it the way you want your clutchline to go from your clutch master cylinder to your slave cylinder you can measure the length and have chasebays make you a braided clutchline... Thats what i plan on doing anyways...

i didnt know that. i can see that in the future the braided line will look ten times better

You can't run 100% braided line. They make it mostly solid for a reason. The pedal will feel extremely soft and it defeats the purpose of hydraulic force. By the time the fluid pushes the slave, half the energy has been wasted expanding that braided hose.

go to a junkyard and look around for for a clutch line of from another honda that is compatible or go to a part store and look for one that is about the same lenght and use a pipe to bent it for a better looking one. ben around the pipe please.

its not actually braided its something else i just said that to give the idea of what it is sorry. I know tons of people that are using them and their pedals felt fine. I had one on my b series setup. They are pressure lines they work fine...

i used the entire stock clutch line and was able to use the original hose as well. all i did was route it forward from the master cylinder and then to the hose and then bought an adapter from autozone to go to the slave cut it to size reflared it and done in an hour also used a 5 dollar tubing bender. Note autozone has a ton of adapters behind the counter for this.
