Acura CL 3.2 Type-S '03 Cars wallpapers and specification with images
For the 2003 model year, Acura's goals for the 3.2 CL were to:
Increase performance
Update styling for a sleeker, more aggressive look
In support of those goals, the 2003 3.2 CL has received the following enhancements:
Powertrain
While it continues to come with a 5-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission, the CL Type-S now offers a new close ratio 6-speed manual transmission as well. Models with the new manual transmission also feature:
- Helical limited slip differential
- Curb weight of 3446 lbs. (compared to 3510 lbs. for the CL Type-S with automatic transmission)
- Multi-cone synchronizers
- Self-adjusting clutch with dual-mass flywheel
- Short-throw shift linkage
