tim182 Donating Members 31 Member For: 13y 9m 7d Gender: Male Posted 30/03/13 10:04 AM Share Posted 30/03/13 10:04 AM so I have an 04 xr6t 4sp auto and I heard that some box's don't like the higher rwkw range and decided they don't want a bar of it so was wondering if there are kits ect that I can buy or do I need to get it engineered?. I'm a little unsure about these cars when it comes to this so any advice would be great Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84443-gearbox-strengthening/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way - I drive around town in D as I don't need the control over revs and its smoother. But in twisties - I find it easier to use manual mode to keep the revs where I want them Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84443-gearbox-strengthening/#findComment-1376004 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short shifting saves the box. Even better if you shift with no load.
