Do you know of many or any with 400+rwkw's who havent had issues with the btr?

I'll be sticking with it unless im pushing well into the 400s 2.5 years with well over 300rwkw and most of it with 370rwkw. When it did go, just a freshen up of a clutch or two and some bearings. 6 more months and going strong.The only problem for me with a non-overdrive box is fuel economy. There are other options too. When my big-banger eventually gets on the road, it will be running a 4l65.

Saying that he just told me to get a dominello built box to retain the drivability, any thoughts on this?Leo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73643-another-4spd-eats-the-dust-possibly/page/3/#findComment-1086908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 11m 28d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 07/03/11 04:56 AM Share Posted 07/03/11 04:56 AM Mate this is just my opinion but the way I see it unless your after big power or a low time get a built 4 speed, look after it, keep it cool and you should be ok. Way cheaper option. What do you actually want out of the car?

I spoke to Tony Dominello today so what I might do is take the box out and leave it with him and pay him off slowly until im ready to rock and roll. Tony said he has done a 4spd box behind a 516rwkw F6 and is going strong (not sure if it is CLINIC's one or not) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73643-another-4spd-eats-the-dust-possibly/page/3/#findComment-1086920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 4 speed in an F6??? Why? that's weird.
