XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 8m 4d Posted 26/11/11 12:49 AM Share Posted 26/11/11 12:49 AM It is funny how as soon as the ZF tune became available, there has been a number of shops advertising billet input shafts... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together..

Does it just slide in externally? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77783-zf-6-speed-tune/page/4/#findComment-1163102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is it possible to leave the torque restriction on for drive but remove it for performance mode? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77783-zf-6-speed-tune/page/4/#findComment-1163106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
