coz Member 50 Member For: 16y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 29/07/09 10:12 AM Share Posted 29/07/09 10:12 AM Hi guys, got a 03 XR6t ute, its a auto, I am looking to convert it to manual, at the moment it is standard, but I have a cooler upgrade on order, and im getting an exhaust done when it gets flash tuned, so its going to be mildish power wise.I have heard that the 5 speed gear boxes arent that stong, I was wondering if it would be worth spending the money putting a 5 speed in it, as im not to keen on spending thousands putting a 6 speed in.any info would be great, thanks guys!!corey Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60140-manual-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

coz Member 50 Member For: 16y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 31/07/09 04:27 AM Author Share Posted 31/07/09 04:27 AM ive been stalking through alot of the driveline threads, and it seems that the zf 6spd is a pretty good option... if and of you guys know what the comparison of price between the zf and the t56 is can you let me know... I have been contemplating selling my ute and getting a new one, but for a number of reasons I have become attached, dont want to go into more debt for a car and pretty much want to just modify a car again... What are your thoughts for the zf vs the t56?? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60140-manual-conversion/#findComment-914712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
