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?

When your clutches were stuffed did you find the change between the top part of 3rd to 4th sometimes wouldn't engage?

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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68275-6spd-zf-busted-what-now/page/2/#findComment-1009406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 20/05/2010 at 1:42 PM, GR8XR6 said: 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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68275-6spd-zf-busted-what-now/page/2/#findComment-1009414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
