#21 of 1030 RE: Rough shift-2nd gear by 5port Jun 05, 2002 (11:49 am)
Try changing your manual transmission fluid to Redline MTL (Manual Transmission Lubricant). Its a synthetic that has improved the shift feel in every car I have put it in. It comes in 75W-80 and 75W-90. Can be found at most speed shops. Takes a few days to work its way in, you will notice the difference.
#22 of 1030 Interior colors by khannag Jun 09, 2002 (8:26 pm)
I've been very attracted to the black leather interior offered by Acura. However, I just test drove an RSX and I felt a little claustrophobic inside the car. It also seemed like on a hot day that interior would make the car really hot.   Would love any any feedback from other people who own the car?
#23 of 1030 tires by d5tanley Jun 10, 2002 (5:28 am)
i've experienced an serious lack of traction a few times at low speeds when the tires are wet. not in the rain, but after driving through a puddle or washing the car. has anyone else nocited this?
#24 of 1030 i-vtec by jfigueroa1 Jun 14, 2002 (7:06 am)
for what i know the new rsx Carrie the i-vtec. now the question is: have any of the owners had any problems with the check engine light coming on and off? or when you step on it hard and passing the 4000 rpm where the i-vtec engaged it feel lithe hesitation?

#25 of 1030 Old Town Hall by joe249 Jun 14, 2002 (9:34 am)
Let's go back to it.Why fix something if it isn't broken? Surfing Town Hall is like trying to find something at the grocery store after they put things in different Isles IMHO.
#26 of 1030 Any suggestions on reducing road noise? by erictooley Jun 14, 2002 (10:51 am)
I like my RSX, but it's LOUD on rough pavement (i.e., most freeways in Portland). Anyone installed noise abatement materials like B-quiet or Dynamat? Does it only make sense to take out the seats and do the entire floor? Or would a door + trunk project help appreciably?
#27 of 1030 Poor Sound Quality by kgilkerson Jun 18, 2002 (8:08 am)
For having a premium sound system (I own a Type-S), I am very dissatisfied with the sound quality in my RSX. The subwoofer in the floor doesn't seem to produce very much bass - does anyone else experience this, and is there anything I can do about it besides buying aftermarket parts? I would appreciate any input...

i recall seeing somewhere else that there was a wiring problem with some of the subwoofers. you might want to contact your dealer to see if your's is one of the models with the defect.

If your car is new, most likely the wire swap has already been performed by Acura. I think this was resolved in Jan. or Feb. of this year.   I own an RSX-S, and the Bose system does stink very much. It sounds good on paper (in-dash 6-CD changer, 7-speaker sound system, AM/FM/CD/cassette, etc.), but sounds poor in real life. I plan on buying a Basslink all-in-one subwoofer to replace the Bose Richbass Woofer in the hatch.
#30 of 1030 New subwoofer by kgilkerson Jun 19, 2002 (5:39 am)
Thanks for the advice - I was hoping I wouldn't have to pay an additional fee to upgrade the system, but I guess I have no choice!
