Mines made the noises pretty much since day 1. Haven't had a chance to drive any other 6 speeds yet, hopefully a few of the guys at work get their deliveries soon and we can do a bit of a comparison. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> mine has made the noise from day 1. I suppose that's just normal the service manager said to monitor the nosie if it gets louder go back he also said its a very big box and you should get a little bit of noise .any who thanks to all, a bit hard being the only one in tassie with a 6 speed ,I guess that what the fourm is for

Got my 3000k service done yesterday and ive had a rather loud noise coming from the gear box its only there when idleing around under 1500 rpms but its there in all gears. I live in tassie must be the only one with a six speed they not had any 6 speed boxes in tassie apart from mine .They rang ford head office and said it is normal for the gear box to make this noise .So just wanting to know of any other problems noise etc from 6speed thanks my wife also asked if they could fix the diff clunk to :lol: that was me rolling round on the service dept floor .service manager goes what diff clunk with a big smile on his face. said ill be back

I had an xr8 03 it was auto good power from around 3500-5000 rpm. Just seem to rev and not produce any torque after 5000 rpm had it for 12 months no major trouble to 15000 ks. Nice induction sound under hard driving huge under steer trouble one mk 1. stock brakes run out after 2-3 good uses. sold that brought a mk 11 xr6t 6 speed very fast seems to be lower than mk 1 better cornering and the brakes are lots better so far only 300ks . hope this helps
