Yeh I was thinking that initiallyJust that bjacobs was saying how he drove his mate's F6 with ceramic xtreme and wasnt too bad. Think I'll be sticking with the organic though, want to keep my sanity in M5 traffic if necessary.If your clutch was slipping when it was tuned then yes, it can affect the load points, what it made on the day is what it made so its not as if the tune is wrong or anything. But probably a good idea to get it touched up when you get a new clutch as it will most likely affect the way it loads up.If your clutch was 100% at the time of tune, then you farked it. Different story.Doubt it was 100% at the time, even with previous 357rwkw tune it sometimes slip if on a hard 3-4 change.I'll be interested to see how it goes on the rollers with a decent clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while now there's been a lot of slop in it at low speed, would lurch coming on to / off the tiniest bit of throttle, the new clutch made it even more noticeable as it doesn't have much slip Also started a bit of single spinning every now and then Took it to D&R Diffs in Chipping Norton a couple of days ago, after a drive they diagnosed ring gear wear Re-build priced at $650 + gst seemed alright to me after a bit of a search and a few phone calls I messaged jet yesterday about a truetrac centre and he was able to give me a very decent price, so have bitten the bullet...thanks jet!! Hopefully it won't be too long before I can wrap my greedy hands around it By back end has more dramas that need attention that just the diff, it tramps fairly easily now In a back room at work I have this bunch of stuff waiting to be thrown at it... Yeh SSLs on their own will just make the tramp worse...maybe! But hey got the almost brand new leaves for $450 rather than $800+ so can't complain, plus always wanted it lower. Coils I got from a friend for $120, and the Konis I picked up about 18 months ago from Pat aka SennaT for a great price I'm hopeful the shocks will help with the tramp, also considering machining some solid plates instead of using the superpro leaf bushes after a read of this thread on AFF http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11391011&page=11 Will have to shorten my centre bearing spacers as well to suit the changed pinion angle But most of all I'd love to get my hands on a set of mal wood tramp rods and make some of my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably going to help a fair bit with tramp. Gonna sit sweet once they go in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really interested to see how it all goes, see if I've wanted money on the rear end or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
