Moose Member 185 Member For: 17y 16d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich, QLD Posted 13/12/10 11:33 PM Author Share Posted 13/12/10 11:33 PM (edited) Well got the car back yesterday afternoon, it sure is a hell of alot better than it was before.I still have issues, the gearbox computer still thinks that 3rd and 5th gear are slipping. Ford and a number of tuners have tried to get it into 'learn' mode and even tried flashing it all back to standard configuration but no luck yet :( So hopefully after driving it for 500-1000k's it'll start to learn (so ford says).Total bill was $5.5k for a huge rebuild, oil cooler and a few other bits and pieces. If anyone wants info on where I got it done just PM me and thought I'd throw this in Edited 13/12/10 11:36 PM by Moose Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72090-uggh-more-problems-with-my-zf/page/2/#findComment-1063488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking with gearbox re-builders and a few tuners, they recommended not to put it on due to the temperature control system the ZF runs and the high possibility of blowing it up.

I dont think they are needed as the ZF may not perform well if temps are not at optimum temperature. They can run poorly if the temps are too low.Any chance you might bring the car down to Harry's Diner on Thursday night?

Just glad to have her back lol.And didnt give Harry's a thought but yeh might just come down for a visit, will you be there? Be good to see a few faces and meet some new people!
