hey guys I have a n/a xr6 with a zf 6speed which apparently turns out to be even crapper then the turbo box. Anyhow I have currently spent a head of $$ on my car and got around 320-330rwhp n/a and having some annoying problems with the box.. We are looking at getting it rebuilt in the near future. who should I contact for pricing? In central QLD

But out biggest problem is that im running atomic 4.5(changed alittle to suit) cam shafts and power doesnt kick in to around 3000rpm and due to standard stall being 1800rpm there is to much load in between there and 3000 rpm making in pretty much dead below that. Anyhow we have been in contact with herrord and should see the 6speed software by early febuary(FINALLY) and just wondering what options have with putting a 3500rpm stall in it?

Also I can not hold it WOT in 1st and shift into 2nd as it flares and goes into limp home mode..

any info would be much appreciated as its a pain to drive under 3000rpm. Hard to even get it off the line..

okay just checked email. my tuner got back to me. Kewish automotive will rebuild it for 4400 without a stall converter.. seems to be best option so going with that.. now what can I do about a stall converter?

A stock ZF should be more than capable of handling the power level you've got.

I honestly think a rebuild of that level would be a waste of money in your case.

It doesn't really sound like the gearbox is in need of a rebuild in the typical sense we see on this forum, such as worn clutches etc.

Have they looked into what else could be causing your problems?

[Trav199]

The n/a6 box is different to a turbo one.. We are hoping that with the software we are able to fix the first to second wot gear change.. Looked and tried everything else to fix it..

Any options on a stall??

F6_Tornado- Do you know where would be the best place to source ZF parts and service items such as pans/filters?? does ZF Australia sell to the public?

Aaron at DTM Automatics in Geelong builds ZF's - Aarons boxes are first class!!!!!

[mulkers]

Can the ZF's be externally filtered? Like have one in the cooler line?

Or would this require a lot of custom parts/modification?

With proper cooling and fluid, what sort of power do they handle?
