December 9, 201015 yr #1 Hey guys,Quick run down. My ZF blew up. Something corroded allowing water into the gearbox oil, following that the filter seased and staved the box of oil.Its all been rebuilt, but now my car has like 1000 error codes :S Even audio errors :S The biggest issue is the Speed Sensor - Keeps coming up with an error, related to the ABS. But, when inside the gearbox computer, the guys at the workshop cant find the ABS. They can clear the error codes, and drive up the street, then bang! Speed Sensor issue :(Any ideas anyone?
December 9, 201015 yr #2 Id be looking at power/earth issues mate, that many unrelated codes normally point to power supply/earth issues not actual faults.(are the battery terminals tight....?)

December 9, 201015 yr #4 So your heat exchanger failed. Did u replace it with a new one or did u do a remote oil cooler setup?
December 9, 201015 yr #5 Hey guys,Quick run down. My ZF blew up. Something corroded allowing water into the gearbox oil, following that the filter seased and staved the box of oil.I feel for ya mate - I got mine back yesterday after the same problem - dealership told me after this type of failure they have to replace the box.So your heat exchanger failed. Did u replace it with a new one or did u do a remote oil cooler setup?If ya know any other options than the Ford OEM parts to suit G6ET, could you let us know pls. I dont wanna go through this again.
December 9, 201015 yr #6 Author So your heat exchanger failed. Did u replace it with a new one or did u do a remote oil cooler setup?Did both, replaced it so that the water side of things there is ok and added an oil cooler as well.After a test on the ground cable from the block to battery, there was only 2 volts of charge running through it, so this could be the problem!! They're working on it now But yeh, current bill is at $6k with the oil cooler included, a service, new power steering pump n a few other issues fixed :( the box was totally f*cked, all clutches gone and a few solenoids fried out!
December 9, 201015 yr #7 I'm keen to piss off the heat exchanger time bomb completely and run aftermarket trans cooler,
December 9, 201015 yr #8 Author I'm keen to piss off the heat exchanger time bomb completely and run aftermarket trans cooler,An oil cooler is a hell of a lot cheeper than a new gearbox! I missunderstood what my mechanic said, my heat exchanger is gone completly as well thanks to the oil cooler that's now installed
December 9, 201015 yr #10 im keen for some details on your setup too.. maybe a few pics too mate. cheers
