RICFORD Member 84 Member For: 14y 3m 5d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 12/10/11 06:36 AM Share Posted 12/10/11 06:36 AM Just an update on my car after having the zf serviced 5 weeks ago with transmax z. When cold the shifts feel a little erractic, especially 3-4, feels like the torque converter is locking unlocking between shifts. Once warmed up, it feels fine but don't know if this is doing the auto harm.

Let us know how you go. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75173-zf-fluid/page/7/#findComment-1148491 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I got a hold of a proper steel pan kit from ze germans.With a lot of different oils being put through these boxes I just wanted to see if this stuff was another option. If it goes good then I will say so, if it's like that sh!t we flushed after 500k's then I'll say so. If it's sh*t then it's only cost me a few hundred and everyone else wins, just like when I posted up which penrite stuff not to use. If it's good then we all have another option.So far I haven't got above 60k's in it but it feels fine, I will try to do a few WOT 3rd to 4th changes this weekend to compare the slip with the Transmax.

winstor Member 611 Member For: 16y 1m 26d Posted 13/10/11 08:50 PM Share Posted 13/10/11 08:50 PM I got 12 quart bottles of Mercon SP XT6QSP coming from the US, shame sh*t Ford will stick in your box. All up cost $222 delivered, so roughly $20/L for the genuine sh*t.
