Is that true? What's the go??←No, that's not true. Schnitzer modify them in the BMW's they do up.I rang CAPA today to follow up on the 6-speed auto support for the SCT software. They inform me SCT are working on the transmission support atm and will release the update when they come over here. Key is though, there's no indication when that will be at this stage There are however limited functions in the existing software to enable the trans to cope with the higher torque outputs. Also, I spoke to my trans builder today (he runs a large transmission repair shop in the nothern suburbs in Perth with quite a few knowledgeable trans rebuilders working for him), he's done a heap of the 5 speed auto ZF's in the european cars he services. He's quite confident they are capable of handling some decent power. He attending a transmission association conference next month, and will have more info on the ZF trans for the Falcon.Apparently my car now has an appointment with him in September Edited 26/07/06 12:28 PM by M6 XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So smooth and was fish tailing in first gear. Not bad for a stock car. Doesn't take long to hit 160 and still goes alright at those speeds to. A nice improvement over the BA Turbo my brother used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
