ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 9m 17d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 11/06/05 01:24 PM Share Posted 11/06/05 01:24 PM You need to remember that ZF are making gearboxes for many car makers. They cannot just drop 20,000+ gearboxes to cover the non FPV cars. It will take a while to ramp up that type of production, so I would say that the FPV's will be the only ones for the first 12 months to get the 6 speed and then maybe a factory option for a while.These gearboxes cost twice as muchas the crappy BTR 4speed.

If they cant supply that many more, they shouldnt be in the business. I think the Territory Ghia will even get the 6 speed at the end of the year.
