i am buying an 0 type-s with 53k on it. what are somethings to look for.
should i go ahead and put redline tranny fluid in right away and switch out the 3rd and 4th gear switches. anything else?

 

Is this TL-S a 6mt or auto? No recalls for the TL-S. So, really not much of anything to be done, just your mods.

 

its auto, but my question is, is it a good idea to do the gear switches at that mileage or wait awhile?

 

Personally, I'd do the switches and a fluid change. It's relatively cheap insurance and you won't be fearing the potential of tranny failure. It's good for peace of mind.

 

I believe the pressure switches are for earlier models (04 - 06 maybe?)

 

there in 07-08 as well they have two 3rd switches in this year i believe. sounds like thats what i am going to do

 

Make sure you read up on what type redline fluid you are going to put in. Going with all Redline D4 fluid is the conservative route, while others go for the type f mixtures, you will want to learn what fluid is appropriate for your car, wallet and warranty before doing it.

 

i was reading redline non FM (type f) is a good one to go with or are you thinking amsoil would be a better route

 

When you get your Type S, you can join our Type S Social Group-the link is below in my signature.

 

will do just waiting till i sign the papers and i will join

 

I would do the switches and the fluid swap. You may also want to check your CAF and air filter. The dealerships tend to neglect those. If you want a hand with the switches drop me a line. I'm outside Lancaster.

What color is it?

 

ahh man!!!!!


you traded the 6mt for an auto.
hope you like the red accents better.

 

yea man i would like to have a hand doing that since i never have and so i dont have to pay someone to do it.

it is wdp

 

yea i am trading a 6mt for an auto but its for the better so i am not disappointed with that. and by red accents you are talking about the interior lighting correct?

 

^yes, just the lighting.

i'm assuming for the better means a lower mileage car!
congrats and post pics as soon as you get it!

 

No problem. Hit me up when you get the car and you're ready to swap them. I have a garage and the tools you would need. Not heated, but it stays around 55 degrees in the dead of winter.

 

yes a lot lower miles, going from 124,000 to 48,000 what not better to love and of course from base to type s even more to love

 

i will def let you know. i will be picking the car up later today and i will most likely be ordering the parts tomorrow. just need to figure out which tranny fluid to go with.
