UPDATE: After driving around for a day with the Red Line MTL manual trans oil in there, I have to say that is is nearly a night and day difference. It is much easier to shift into gear and has eliminated an odd rev-matching problem I've had. After driving manual transmissions all my life (all but one car I've owned), I had pinned this one as the most "clunky". With the MTL in there, it has smoothed things out considerably.

I highly recommend this "mod" for others with the 5-speed. It is relatively cheap ($20 or so for 2 quarts) and is pretty easy to do. You'll need a funnel and a hose, as usual, but you don't need any special tools.

 

Would like to get a crank pulley on the g/f's xD... or maybe even just some floor mats.

 

Where are the fill and drain spots, mcbrew? I haven't bothered to check.

 

Trust me, you can't miss them. The are something like 22mm (can't remember exactly) and both plugs have a sticker on them that says "check the manual, blah, blah, blah". The drain plug faces the driver's wheel, and the fill plug faces the front of the car. I recommend draining without pulling the fill plug... it will "glug, glug" out, but if you pull the fill plug, it will spew out WAY fast and make a huge mess... don't ask how I know... the garage floor is covered in sawdust right now.

 

LOL thanks for the tip!!!!

 

Just put on a spoiler- piece of cake to do. Next up my brother-in-law (professional hotrod car painter) is going to paint the front grill area and lower door panels.

 

If you think it smoothed things out now, wait until this winter!!!

When the temperature drops and the tranny oil in everyone else's car is a thick as molasses, yours will be shifting as smooth as butter!!

I've been using MTL in my other car for many years.

Expensive, but WELL worth it.

 

Just upgraded my speakers. Also I replaced the back interior door panel on my 2006 XB with black leather and embedded about 8 Scion logos in as buttons to hold it on. I used those crappy scion flip key chains that came out in the first year.

 

Have HID's now just need to install, after that then maybe some LED's.

 

next i need to have glass made for my cf hatch

 

scratchin off the force induction and maybe give it abit of a euro or vip inspired look

 

Next up: Injen intake!

 

Well............Since I have no mods, I'm doing TC wheels, and then TRD springs.

 

I already smoke back tail lights, reflectors, emblems, and black out the stock rims. Now i wanna get some black OZ rims with a blue pinstripe. Then after that maybe get a JL Audio sound system and a straight pipe exhaust.

 

what u got planned???

 

I understand tinting out lights, but is tinting out reflectors a good idea?
