Default Got my z!!
Soo I went and traded in my ranger fx4 yesterday for a 2003 red enthusiast 6mt

I know this year had a week 3rd gear but it seems to shift fine and 3rd feels like one of the strongest, although all gears are kind of notchy.

Is there anything I should look out for on this car? It has 101k on it but it was a one owner vehicle and was female driven.

Also I wanted to go ahead and change the tranny fluid and oil as soon as possible. What fluids do y'all recommend?

Thanks

I say change all the fluids........do you know when they were last changed????

check the translink bushing......as usually that one is toast by that mileage unless it was lightly driven those 100k miles...

check the rear subframe bushing as well. same applies.
