Posted 20/05/10 02:25 PM Share Posted 20/05/10 02:25 PM buy the zf box from ebay and they have on add they can strengthen it. ZFs are easilly pushing 450rwkw here on the forums. Some zf's even pushing 500+! I think you just got unlucky. No ford warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your clutches were stuffed did you find the change between the top part of 3rd to 4th sometimes wouldn't engage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think mine has ever been serviced and it hit 104,000k's.Would be interesting to know the process involved in replacing a blown box.Maybe I should stockpile ZF boxes.....Just incase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buf-Phoon loitering with intent Lifetime Members 13,318 Member For: 21y 4m 5d Gender: Male Location: Zombie Birdhouse Posted 21/05/10 12:57 AM Share Posted 21/05/10 12:57 AM my new tune was makin 319rwkw, and 1100nm torque. Was it the tune that may have done the damage to the box??Mate how does the power in the tune come on as that is a sh*tload of torque ? Is it progressive or does it come on like a sledgehammerearly with a lot of boost ? Does Nick( the wog) still tune the car.Anyhow, it seems to me that there are more buggered ZFs out there than we realize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
