The zf tune hid it for a while but now with the standard one in its just woeful.I have seen second hand built ones for 4k but who knows how good they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day hoping to also run an oil to air cooler in series with the pwr, thermostatically controlled to keep zf temps down on the track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilroys in QLD doing them for 3k with cryo shaft. Plenty running them with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a quite detailed teardown that can be found on a jag/range rover site. Pretty simple box to pull down and one could imagine to build up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car has done over 90k km's but I have been wanting to change it over to just an air cooler from either PWR or a B&M Supercooler like I did with my BA!

Everyone will need to forgive my ignorance but one of the main benefits of the 6hp series boxes is that they are built with no need for fine shimming & adjustment. All parts are just machined to tol and assembled to torque, eg semi skilled labour is required to produce them. Is there a finer point to building a box I am neglecting?Initial thoughts would be to install slightly thinner, but more clutch plates to assist in building the friction, input shaft etc. Next stage would be swapping all the gears themselves for more robust materials as a 'stage 2' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
