Hello all

I just bought a 2006 TL 6-speed Navi. I am super excited as I have wanted one of these for a long time. It currently has 181,000 miles on it and needs a clutch so bad I could not drive it home the day I picked it up. So, it is sitting at a shop waiting for that repair. I have also already ordered a new steering wheel, shift knob and shifter boot because they were all in horrible shape. Other than that this thing seems to be in really great condition and I can't wait to start cleaning it up and doing a few subtle mods. These pics are from the day I picked it up.

welcome!!!
the clutch is the hardest thing to master in these cars! not surprised that you have to change it out! for instance, I've only owned standards all my life and for the life of me, couldnt master the clutch in the TL for months!

happy motoring!

Thank you! I drove one of these when they first came out back in '04, and I remember it being extremely difficult shift smoothly. Either way, I am excited about finally owning one and I'll get used to the clutch even if it kills me.

also, Love the color on your JGC!

I always go back and forth between a JCG and a 4runner

Thanks! I love that thing. It has its quirks being a Chrysler product, but the way it looks and the way it drives more than make up for that.
