Ali and his team are good value. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81367-zf-specialist-in-sydney/page/2/#findComment-1281759 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of ZF's failing without any mod's. Anyway, I didn't raise this topic to generate ' I told you so's'Appreciate all feedback.I don't think I've seen a ZF on an unmodified car fail other than the ZF Milkshake which is a design flaw rather than this which is excess wear and tear above what the box was designed for.I think there's a company in WA that do really good ZF rebuilds but I can't think of the name. Their cost includes freight there and back from memory.
