March 10, 201214 yr #1 hey guysim looking at selling my ba xr6t and upgrading to a new falcon ,I do like the sleeper look of the g6 but im a bit over auto and am looking at a manual fg xr6t.will the standard fg clutch handle 310/330kw or is it in the same basket as the ba/bf clutch will it slip as soon as I up the boost etc?
March 14, 201214 yr #4 There is no Option 3 for the FG XR6T, our entry clutch is the Option 3 Plus.A new change for the FG XR6T Option 3 Plus is we use a V8 pressure plate with a Billet Steel Baseplate which has more clamp. We can supply this pressure plate as the FG flywheel has a lower offset flywheel. Unfortunately this doesnt quite fit in BA/BF's.

March 19, 201214 yr #6 Should be ok. The second you get to 330 start saving for a opt5FIXED!Best clutch I have ever driven hands down
June 2, 201214 yr #8 Hi Guys,I regret buying the XR6T Manual because it has more transmission clunks than an auto. If I'd known that at the time, I would have gone for the nice ZF auto as used in Euro gems like BMW's. The Muttering Rotters say that the auto XR6T is faster. Does it have any down-sides? I had my manual gearbox and diff shimmed by Mal Wood to reduce the driveline shunt. I understand that the torque convertor in the auto masks the shunt problem. True?PAH
