It still has the stock standard BTR 4 speed auto and obviously that's not going to last for long (I think the only reason it is still living is because the car has only just clocked 16,000 kms).I am pretty dubious about getting the BTR rebuilt as I have heard many mixed results and ultimately I would prefer it to be a 6 speed auto if I go the auto route.I know which path to take if I choose to go 6 speed manual but I am not sure on what options to consider if I go auto. I am aware of the obvious choices - C4 with gearvendors overdrive or TH400 with gearvendors overdrive but after having a modded F6 ute with the ZF 6 speed, I fell in love with the ZF box.I know retro fitting a ZF to the GT-P has its issues hence why I am looking at other 6 speed auto options.Does anybody know if the TCI 6x Six Speed Transmission (http://www.tciauto.com/tc/6x-six-speed-transmission-package-small-block-ford-bellhousing-paddle-shifterhtml)rated to 850hp will fit? ie: trans tunnel clearance issuesAre there any other options?Any feedback is welcomed.Cheers,Luke G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's well within BF xr8 territory. I'd personally be looking for a BF xr8 that has either coped a shunt in the back or gone upside down and using that as a donor vehicle.
