The 09 TL does not have a manual available right now but a 2010 model will but a few weeks ago there was some 2010 SH-AWD pre-production models that auto journalists were able to sample and drive on a track and they said the shifting was phenomenal, one of the best if not best they ever used and the performance and handling was excellent, beating sports sedans that were lighter with more hp and bigger engines. I did not try a regular non type S 08 TL manual but have read it is excellent just like other Honda/Acura manual transmissions.

 

Mazda RX8. Smooth as butter and I have never missed a shift in it. Very short throws right from the factory also.

 

S2000 of course. If you have an older 2003/2004 Nissan tranny they were changed to a MUCH better version and in fact Nissan/Infiniti has been swapping the old ones out under warranty and putting in the new revision. It is a huge difference. I had a 2003 350Z that had a 2006 tranny put in it, way way smoother. Mine wasn't even in warranty and they swapped it free, but I had to pay for the flywheel (DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER A NON STOCK FLYWHEEL IN THIS CAR). Stay with the dual mass stock unit the solid ones, suck, I had the NISMO, and it was very noisy. The transmission you want is the 009 version, the earlier ones suck after awhile.
