2009 Acura TL doesn’t offer a manual transmission

The 2009 Acura TL doesn’t offer a manual transmission, but that’s about to change for the 2010 model year: A six-speed manual transmission will be available this fall on the TL Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive performance model.

The current TL’s lack of manual transmission is a notable when comparing it to its competition such as the Infiniti G37 and BMW 335, which both offer manuals.

On the TL Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive model, Acura has beefed up the suspension to reduce body roll and shed 88 pounds by going from the automatic transmission to the manual, which improves weight distribution.
