aps Member 1,505 Member For: 22y 1m 27d Posted 17/02/04 07:00 AM Share Posted 17/02/04 07:00 AM (edited) Guys, just heard an interesting rumor (can't divulge from where) that the next Falcon will have a GETRAG 6 speed manual trans. Apparently the Ford engineers do not like the shift quality and the NVH of the T56 6 speed trans either!If this rumor proves to be a reality, what a hoot for all xr6t owners. A world class trans for the series II BA falcon. Maybe this trans will only be available in the FPV models, but what a massive step forward for mankind! I am absolutely stoked. If this is true, we will all be able to upgrade the current T5 trans with the world's best 6 speed transmission at a reasonable price.PeterAPS Edited 17/02/04 07:10 AM by aps Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9209-ba-series-ii-6-speed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont ford and Getrag have a joint venture in europe since 2001...I can see BTR fading to nothing ...

Hi Simon, that driveline lash getting too ya? Any other drama's so far? Hopefully my auto in the GT won't have this problem, was non exsistent in the turbo auto (note, thread hyjacking in progress).
