Someone crashed into my 08 TL-S and totaled it and I picked up a 2013 TL-AWD 6MT! So far I'm loving it! planning on getting it tinted up among other things.

Thanks for the warm welcomes! Getting the tint on tomorrow and I just ordered the trunk drawer because it's cool as shit. Probably going to go to mechanic once my trunk drawer comes in and get my fluids changed over to synthetic.

I know the 3G 6MT was having problems with 3rd gear and GM synchromesh seemed to be the solution. Just to verify, does the 4G 6MT have any of these issues? Does anybody recommend any other fluids because Honda stuff?

^its literally the same gear set as the 3G.
so, yes, it will inherit the same problems.

anything you did on the 3G TL is VERY applicable to the 4G.

in fact, I'm installing some 3.7 heads onto my 3.2 short block at the moment.

as you know from the 3G, use all Honda fluids.

*edit, I would pop in some GM sycromesh in your newly acquired ride!

Yes it is, unfortunately for me the dealer knew this was a rare car as well and they didn't go down on the price too much.

VanyDotK... I live in Sac area and was helping my friend to find TL 6MT in the area. We have looked at this TL but didn't get it due to black color which is hard to maintain clean.

Congrats on your purchase and enjoy...

There was a 2012 silver one at Serramonte Acura that sold for 29k, I missed it by 2 days!

Ah, finally tinted
