Also get you clutch flushed and bleed. chances are that fix the problem Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37556-6-speed-manual-problem/#findComment-565560 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My box is awesome with 5000klm on her. No probs with any gear although I thought it might become an issue once the clutch fluid goes off.
