Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 2m 25d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 08/11/12 08:06 AM Share Posted 08/11/12 08:06 AM Won't be an input shaft at 120 kmph more likely an intermediate shaft but at 330 rwkws that's really nowhere near enough power to break an intermediate. It's possible that you have have overheated the box or neutralized it by way of frying e drum frictions. But could be a number of things and until you get it time a shop you won't really know. Couple of questions.What dtc code came up?How many kms on the box?Has it ever been serviced?How many ks has the box had 330 rwkws through it?. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82760-zf-failure/page/2/#findComment-1322459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be very surprised if any dealer touches the insides bar the usual seals an mechatronics. Id send it to get built by monsta torque or cms etc Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82760-zf-failure/page/2/#findComment-1322494 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told quiet common, to do with the tables in the ZF tune, don't quote me but from memory "there are over 50 tables in the ZF tune of which a couple are responsible for this issue". 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82760-zf-failure/page/2/#findComment-1322864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawlass Silver Donating Members 1,161 Member For: 17y 5m 27d Gender: Male Location: left right out Posted 10/11/12 05:27 AM Share Posted 10/11/12 05:27 AM I was told by my auto guy, the ZF wont select 1st gear untill it see's 0km/h. This stops you being lurched forward as it grabs 1st, but a pain if your slowed to 1 km/h at an intersection then get on the gas, a split second of hesitation then thud into first and off ya go. Just part of the ZF charm. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82760-zf-failure/page/2/#findComment-1323143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a quick lights jumper within a month or even less the ZF will default to 1st gear take offs.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82760-zf-failure/page/2/#findComment-1323321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
