DeKay Member 18 Member For: 14y 2m 16d Gender: Male Posted 15/09/10 01:54 AM Author Share Posted 15/09/10 01:54 AM I have a 6 speed manual turbo I love it so much better driving experience then an auto.. yes the autos are faster.. but LOL who would want a auto unless on strip?on a Xr6t they dont have a good clutch, the box is good! but the clutch will start sliping an shortly burn out after 260-280rwk's an again depending on the way you drive,, but if you modding a car you obviosuly are going to give it a little.. so clutch wil be a good upgradethe Malwood Opton 3 + is probly the best an cheapest upgrade an best driving clutch!or you can go the Ap twin racing clutch that's in the Fpv's but they are about 3.5k!!malwood is about 2k I think installedBy how much are the autos faster? is it a noticeable difference on the track compared to street? I would of thought that with manual you can push it that extra bit further?Yeah hearing about the clutch a fair bit on the manuals, 2k doesnt sound cheap haha but I guess if I got the manual I would justify it once I start modding the car with everything else. The AP twin racing clutch that's in FPVs, say F6, those come standard?Fords handle like boats if you dont look after em right, lowering suspension, new shocks, camber kits, changing to nolthane bushes all round, sway bar etc. Can tighten the ride a hell of a lot more that what it starts out to be.

But all that can be fixed of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 1 'box replaced under warranty (under 10,000km) and the clutch slipped at 280rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 1 'box replaced under warranty (under 10,000km) and the clutch slipped at 280rwkw.some info if anyone was to do a conversion firstly pcm would have to be changed to a turbo t56 parameters will have to be reset you will need a t56 manual pcm loom for the reverse lockout and most likely a custom made shaft and definetly get a good after market clutch xr6t pedal box will be needed hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
