XR6T007

I took my '05 BA mkII Turbo to a FORD dealer to get valued 18 months after I bought it. It had 16,000kms on the clock, 6sp manual, not a scratch and had some factory options. They offered me $23,000 for it as a trade in. If I was standing 1m closer to that salesman the only thing he would be selling with wheels would be wheelchairs. I understand it's a business...but that was criminal. Take the time and sell it privately!!!

Jan '05 and 17,000kms. Wish I could drive it more cause every time I do I need a box of tissues!!

Yeah I wouldn't bother mate. The RIMS are the only thing going for it.

Yeah, again FORD claims this is normal. I never know what to believe with these people. You guys are better than they are cause you have "unbiased" comments. Looking all over the internet suggest the driveline shunt is apparent is many of the T's. Just wondering if there's a fix?

Does anyone know why some manual turbo sedans have a driveline shunt in them and some don't? Mine's a 6 speed Man BA/MKII and has the shunt. My mates hasn't got it and it's the 6 speed too. What causes the shunt? Is there any fix? I'm sorry if I'm not as technically minded as most people here.

Hi Everyone. I'm knew to this so bare with me. I have a 2005 XR6 Turbo, 6 Speed Manual. I have a vibration coming through the cabin from the box which sounds like the bearings are stuffed. I've been told it may be the input shaft bearing by someone who races in the Carrera Cup (so he is a pro) but when FORD reps took a look at it twice they said this is the normal sound of the box...it is just a noisy box. It just comes through the cabin. It's pretty bad and once your ear tunes into it it pisses me off everytime I drive it. Does anyone else have the same problem?? I'd appreciate some advice.
