I looked everywhere under my hood, but all i see is brake fluid, window washer fluid, power steering fluid, and thats it

 

umm, it's a dipstick for the tranny fluid....just like the engine oil.

 

is there a cap thats colored or is it just a dipstick sticking out?

 

 

First question... do you have a 5AT or 6MT?

5AT - Dipstick
6MT - NADA, two bolts under the case.

 

oh ok, i have the 6 mt

 

Just a guess... this is your first manual car?

 

If you'll pardon a noob question on this already noob thread, it is (going to be) my first MT. Before reading AZ i didn't even know there was such a thing as MTF... given that you can't even get to it without unbolting stuff does that mean you don't have to check/change it on a regular basis?

 

In short, I think general maintenance in severe conditions is 60k miles. I could be wrong though since I don't have my manual in front of me. All I know is, I'm at 50k and going to be changing my oil, so might as well do the MTF while I'm under the car.

 

I don't even have TFM yet I'm waiting for the car to be built...

 

 

Haha... then what are you worried about???

 

Not worried, just killing time at work...

 

jpt just rose to the status of one of our most rabid members. LOL

 

great, guess it's time to start my first PW thread then

 

PW threads are no longer allowed. Unless you do it on a Friday under the guise of talking about the TSX.

 

Where do I find the blinker fluid dipstick under the hood? My left turn signal is getting dim; time to top off the blinker fluid!

 

The TSX has dual blinker fluid reservoirs with dual pumps. The dipstick is right behind the blinker but you may have a faulty pump. When is the last time you changed it?

 

yeah and your name is CCColtsicehockey and moda_way

 

 

The dealer supposedly changed the blinker fluid the last time he rebalanced my piston recoil springs, but I don't know if he really did it or not. All I know is my blinker fluid pressure must be getting low, because the turn signals are getting slower and dimmer.
