2MUCHKW Member 350 Member For: 18y 5m Posted 08/08/08 12:37 PM Share Posted 08/08/08 12:37 PM a 6speed auto will cost you a decent amount yes, but it will require a massive change in wiring looms, abs module too I believe, and various modules reprogrammed to make it work..At the same time, the shifting in the 6speed autos cannot be manipulated greatly, and eventually will shag out much like Mauz's 2 boxes did.a freshened up 4speed auto, tuned right, should easily be able to take 350rwkw with decent reliability. A number of cars I know of are still going strong on their 4speeds.If you were to push the limits over 400, different turbo etc, then yeah.. a 4speed might not be upto the task.Whats happened to Mauz's ZF????????Thought his box was going great since the rebuild??????

Interesting about the plans - I guess getting some billet straight cut jobs made up would be way too expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
