Need Advice Asap

[jhols1]

Hello, need advice asap, I have a 4speed auto in my turbo ute and its completely uprated and am still having issues with it, wanting to know if I buy a zf 6speed auto with computer and harness, will I be able to bolt it straight in and tune it and drive away, or will there be issues with the LOOM????? abs sensors etc

planning on buying the 6 speed this week, before it gets sold, its out of a tyfoon.

Cheers

Isn't your ute pretty stock? do you have an aftermarket transcooler fitted?

you would need almost everything from the donor car, trans, computers, looms and lots of small things I would guess, not a really simple job but can be done. it would then have to be towed to ford so they can make everything talk to each other again before tuning.

I can get the 6 speed and computer and harness for around $3000.

my 4 speed is completely uprated, and has a trans cooler on it, am running 315rwkw and about 900nm. I keep burning out the bands

so its gonna still cost a fair bit then with alot of mucking around?

Yep, Ninka did it, had a very patient dealer who helped him as well, needed to replace ECU's and ABS modules, cost him close to 12K plus labour I think.

I would not do it, as you would be better spending the money on a better built 4speed or get a C4.

While the conversion has been done and documents on this site, it took a long time and needed the dealer to help with the wiring and diagnostics.

There are many cars here on this site that run a 4Speed and have no problems with over 350rwkw, so getting a better 4speed would be the cheapest option.

jhols1, the bands only get fried if you keep boosting in 4th gear. Do you race and go to 4th? If so, then you will fry the box.

Also, depends on the tune. If the tuner has no idea about shift pressures and torque reduction then the auto will not last.

315 should be ok get a better tuner to look at the set up.

as said don't flog it in normal drive mode use sport mode if you wanna play.

fark 12k for a zf conversion would have been cheaper to get a c4

[jhols1]

yeah I dont race the ute at all, and I dont do burnouts and when I do give it a squirt I always use manual mode, the tune is a good tune and I havent been over 150km/hr on the road as of yet, will be looking further in the tune next week to sort it out, otherwise will be gonna do a c4 in the near future, or sell the ute lol.

the box was built buy gilroys in Toowoomba
