ZF Based Ford 6R80 6-speed Auto run's into the 8-sec zone!

[prasac]

check out the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Yxekmav2eQ

these Ford built auto's are based on the ZF 6HP26 boxe's that you will see in the Falcon's. this was the first GT into the 8's, done it back in May last year, proven box is used by many many vehicles in the US running well into the 9's and even now the 8's. 6R80 conversion anyone?

a breakdown of the ZF6HP26 6R80 http://www.makcotransmissionparts.co...df/ZF6HP26.pdf

6R80 is same trans in the ranger and territory

Built options could be useful in the future.

sure is, Exedy already sends the clutches down here and they make a billet shaft for these boxes, a mate just did a built one, going into a beast of a Territory. here is a video of a 6R80 being torn down spent a year in a drag car, did over 90 passes with 1000rwhp, how did the box come out
goes for over 30mins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj4lNwYIxPw

some part's of the ZF are interchangeable with the 6R60 & 6R80.

So, if we were to get a built box from there and put our mechatronics on it will it work with our cars?

not 100% sure will get back to you.

if they are compatible, the only killer might be the ZF tuning, SCT back in 2010 designed the software for tuning the 6R60/6R80 not sure if the Territory with the 6R80 can have the box tuned using the Aussie SCT.

May need to ask Rob Herrod.

Have you priced their billet shafts?

i have, just waiting for confirmation email to see if the price was correct, it seemed too cheap, was under a $1000

[rednose]

Of course it was Paulie, we get raped with everything in this country...lol

[mickyyyy]

Awesome transmission!!!

The OEM stuff these days are pretty good in factory form, if anything just an valve body upgrade and converter...

[rickyros]

Woukd love to know if I could bolt one up to mine. Ive never had zf tune nor will I ever get one.

[prasac]

that is a crazy box, 90-100 passes at 1000rwhp/750rwkw and no issues is insane.

[prasac]

1266rwhp with the Ford box http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=T9PJT1dDr-s

[prasac]

the time's are tumbling and the MPH is going thru the roof. the Vortech Mustang in the OP has ran 8.75 and the turbo Mustang has now run 9.0@155 plus a 9.10@158.99, that is insane 160mph street car's with factory 6-speed boxes!! check the story out http://www.dragzine.com/news/lund-tu...ote-et-record/ video's on the link also...

[XXX747]

Someone workout how we can fit these to our Falcons. Must not be too hard if its already bolted to the teritoriy's

[blwn_290]

Does anyone know if the exedy stage 1 friction kit for the 6r80 is a 100% drop in product to suit our zf. I have emailed exedy usa several times with no responce.

Yes, both Stg. 1 and Stg. 2 are now both drop in replacement for our ZF's.

I have the new Stg. 2's

Give Motospecs a call for pricing.

02 8867 7177

Ask for Jim.

[blwn_290]

Cheers rednose i will give him a call. Does the stage 2 shifts feel more firm than oem?

[rednose]

Yes, they bite hard, too hard in fact so I had Spiro soften it up in the tune.

Full throttle shifts are spot onl and so far I cannot fault the trans build or the tune.

What power level are you at?

[blwn_290]

425rwkw at the moment. Not sure what stage to get. I guess if i go stage 2 it will safely cover me for any future mods.. what did you pay for the stage 2 for motorspec?

[rednose]

Stg. 2 is what I would get if I were you.

I got them at a staff rate so can't really share.

[blwn_290]

No worries. Is it the same part number for our zf as it is the 6r80?

[rednose]

Yep.

[blwn_290]

Thanks mate. Ill give jim a call this afternoon.

[78xcgxl]

Awesome! Why anyone would want a manual instead is beyond me.

[blwn_290]

I got a price off motorspec, fairly pricey compared to how much they are posted from the states even with our falling dollar. I would like to support an aussie company wven if they were a little more expensive but a saving is a saving.
