Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 22y 17d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 08/01/09 05:26 AM Share Posted 08/01/09 05:26 AM When the V6 was going to be used, the ZF was going to be replaced with the Ford US built 6 speed auto that is specifically suited to the V6. AFAIK its not a copy of the ZF but a different box. Now that the V6 won't be around for at least the next 5 years they may have changed plans, I don't know. But then again a replacement auto would have to be pretty damn strong come 2010, I'm talking stronger than the ZF.

Hopefully its not detuned too much cause it will be a monster.

Good news that the engine plant will be around for a few more years at least too.

The 6 speed is standard on the XR's as an optional extra ever since what, the BA mkII, BUT Whether they are a no cost or an additional cost option is another story that could possibly come down to the dealer you go to! Me personally, I don't truely know as I bought mine s/h.EDIT>>> damn, I need to stop falling asleep half way through posting a reply!!!
