kochxr6 Member 56 Member For: 14y 6m 11d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 14/01/13 11:11 AM Share Posted 14/01/13 11:11 AM I thought about doing it myself but appartently its pretty technical on the zf's. Didnt think it was worth the risk for the sake of a coupe hunge. Only changing to the metal pan because its supposed to makes it easier/cheaper for future survicing. Probably a bit of added strength aswell if I hit something Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76845-zf-serviced/page/13/#findComment-1349366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic pan is attached to filter and is a throw away item.

Plastic pan is attached to filter and is a throw away item.Correct but the plastic pans have come down in price, they can be had for $120ish trade.You would need to service the box a few times to recover your cost so it just depends on how many kays you do and how long you intend to keep your car. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76845-zf-serviced/page/13/#findComment-1349566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
