2003 Honda Accord V6 Manual - Episode 1: Not Your Vanilla Accord 

I have a red 2003 Accord V6 6-spd coupe. I told you we like the same cars. Lol Just an FYI, the brakes on the 6-spd are not the same as the automatic V6. The 6-spd's are larger. Another cool thing about these cars is the Odyssey 3.5L from the 2005-2006 (non-VCM) engines swap right into this car! Great way to get at least a 15 HP bump as well as around 40 tq.! I specifically bought one that needed a lot of work, but primarily needed a timing belt and clutch. That made doing the Odyssey engine swap a no-brainer. Most people think this car is boring. Far from it! Honda made it pretty special. Unfortunately, the masses didn't appreciate it as much. Such a shame. Another FYI is the Acura TL 2004-2006 3.2L drops right in. The manual transmission from the TL drops right in, too. The benefit is the TL came from the factory with an LSD Trans. The Accord's is open diff. Be aware that the 2007-2008 base TL and Type S engines and transmissions have a different bellhousing bolt pattern. You can swap the 3.5L TL Type S engine into this car, but you will need the transmission as well. Honda swapped between two different bellhousing bolt patterns in the 2000's between all J-Series equipped cars and SUVs. Why, I have no idea. Can't wait to see updates!

Nice! I own a 2007 Sedan V6 6MT. Love the car, owned it for 8 years now. The sedans are much more rare than the coupes.

Very informative. Now I can understand what kind of work my car needs to get done. Very detailed and helpful. And I love my tubby coupe! Thank you.

if you pull the intake drill out the EGR passages, plus it makes doing the back valve cover way easier. the intake comes off in 20 minutes and you don't have to take off the throttle body. don't waste your money on wheel sensors, spend the money and get a launch scanner that does live data ABS for $250 it will save you thousands in the long run. I have my small 250 dollar launch and it does 99% of what my 11k snap on does. the launch also has add on packs via software to allow tpms relearn and oil reset for euro cars.

Oh, some more information about this car I thought of. Any 7th Gen Accords with the red V6 badge means it's a 6-spd. Sedans had the 6-spd option later in the run. 2006-2007. The sedans are even more rare. Only EX-L models could be had with the 6-spd. Only major option was the NAV. This engine gets great gas mileage. The engine is very moddable. You can make these faster than the 2003-2006 350Zs pretty easily. The flywheel is dual mass but you can also choose the 2003 Acura CL 6-spd tradition flywheel. It's cheaper, too. The 3.7L MDX and TL AWD-SH crank swaps right into all J Series engines. However, one thing to note. A 3.7L crank swapped into the 3.0L strokes it only to 3.3Ls. Swapping the crank into the 3.2L and 3.5L blocks nets you 3.6L. No, that's not a typo. 3.6L. These J Series are amazing engines. They are cheap and plentiful, too.

got here through your Magnum SRT-8 video and then found this... ive owned a mag and I currently own a 2004 accord coupe 6-6 xD what are the odds.
