I have heard tales of people having their 6 speeds rebuilt with Ford synchro's, making them more durable. A search in the tech part of the forum would reveal more on that. Haven't needed the info, so I haven't researched it. From my limited reading, the rest of the transmission seems to hold up well.

No I still had about 100 rpm before hitting the rev limiter which was set at 7600 rpm by the dealership. It was speed limited because the speed and rpm wouldn't budge.

Thanks for your imput.
