No. If you bothered to look at the Legend bay, the transmission is on the opposite side. 5 speeds of reverse and 1 forward. That's if you could adapt it to fit, and do some volkswagening with the shift linkage...

I've never seen a Legend's engine bay. And if I did, I wouldn't notice that the transmission was on the opposite side. If it is. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Not being sarcastic at all. It's on the drivers side.

it would still be 5 gears forward & 1 reverse shouldn't it?

I think he's telling me what would happen if I put the LX-i transmission in the Legend.

[Edit]: NVM, didn't see the link.
Usually those transmissions last to 150k and then self-destruct.
