you must be joking..you're saying 600 gearboxs to cover xr6t sales only, or worse still, 600 6 speed boxes to cover all sales..ie xr8/fpv range etc..

I ordered mine on saturday and the salesman said 4 weeks....maybe I got the last one!

that's a joke! What is ford doing?

The answer to that is obviously clear. They are trying there hardest to lose their market share to Expensive Daewoo and Toyota.

Dazza.

If you think a company would do this intentionally you are crazy.

The most likely explanation is that the parts supplier just cant supply enough product to them, nothing more nothing less..

Sounds more like dealer bs ... move onto the next one ... my local has some in stock already

I strongly agree with jteale on this one. In general, if a dealer passes on any puzzling information, try another dealer.

Don't forget that most XRT's are SSS (super slow slushbox?? now ive started it!) and that the XRT'S have different gearbox ratios than the FPV/XR8

that's why I posed the question as to whether the 600 units was the total g/boxs available in 6speed guise to cover all mk11 series sales....or for the xr6t only.

this question is still to be answered.
