Updated on my 2004 NPB 6MT

Whats up guys ?

So I got my 2004 Acura TL NPB 6MT with 56k a month ago.

So far I installed the supercomputer pedals, Ebay intake w/ K&N filter and painted the wheels black.

On friday, I changed the cabin air filter, flushed brakes, clutch, power steering and coolant and I got to say it made the car feel so much better !
I woke up this morning early to go to work and although the car was still cold the gears were shifting into 2nd and 3rd much nicer after the clutch fluid flush and the brakes perform on a whole different level.

I Highely recommend this "60k self service" !
As for my future plans I already picked up GM synchromesh fluid for a 3X3 and I will be buying a used RV6 V3 J-pipe from a local member.

You have a manual, therefore you don't need to do the 3X3

You don't need to flush the MT. Just drain and fill. Use the GM Synchromesh Friction Modified fluid if you have the third gear problem (or not).
