New Cluth, Some Gauges, and a Shift Light

I was thinking of getting a new clutch put in my tsx soon. I want to have some better shifts while in SS mode. Also I am thinking of adding a shiftlight also in addition to some gauges like a volt meter, air/fuel ration, and oil temp. So what do you guys think.

I think KPTechnologies makes LED shift lights.

You should look into some boost gauges for your TSX.

I saw a couple of clutch kits for your 5ATTSX at another site. Wonder if that would be the same kit for an RSX Type S.

I will have to check that out. Is it a programmable shift light do you know.

Be sure and get a beefed up pressure plate. That makes SS engage 100x better.

As far as shift lights go, I need to see all 6 colors in real pictures before I could make a color choice.

Colt, can you post all 6 colors to help me out?

Or one LED with color shifting. Mustangs owners find that to be the best feature on their cars. LOL

Absolutely. It is a huge hit with all of their Neon SRT owners.

I cannot believe you are contemplating driving without a boost gauge.

It doesn't. I thought the 2006 was just about able to drive itself with a MID setting. However, you have to program it for Driver 1 b/c if you do it for driver 2, you won't be able to put it in SS mode.
