Would Ford supply the new 6 speed auto transmission on demand / What would be the coast of installing it in a MKII Auto XR6T ?

Some say Yes and some Say NO WAY in the short term.

Its not a case of bolting one in and off you go. Have a look at the latest Performance Ford magazine as it runs through the complexities of the ZF.

Have a look at the latest Performance Ford magazine as it runs through the complexities of the ZF.Two and a half years ago, the boost [supposedly]couldn't be upped in an XR6 Turbo either without causing problems. The factory PCM was impossible to crack and edit also. But look where we are at now. Someone will manage this transmission swap, gauranteed.

Without the extra wiring looms the BF has its not going to be possible.
