sash Love the Ride.... Member 236 Member For: 22y 2m 6d Location: Roleystone, WA Posted 09/12/03 11:31 AM Share Posted 09/12/03 11:31 AM If anyone knows or has info on the series2 BA could you drop me a line as I am just about to upgrade from my XR6NA to XR6T. If there is a six speed manual gearbox in the pipeline, I will wait for that for sure.Thanks Sash Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7824-6-speed-gear-box-for-series-2-xr8-and-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-72853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must make fuel useage better to boot.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/7824-6-speed-gear-box-for-series-2-xr8-and-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-73023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR64T Are we there yet? Donating Members 703 Member For: 21y 7m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 10/12/03 01:42 PM Share Posted 10/12/03 01:42 PM I definitely thing an additional ratio in my auto would make a huge difference to highway economy. Mine gets up to about 2300 rpm at 120kph so is not far off starting to make boost and really chews the juice compared to my old VX V8 Calais.
