They make the 6 speed manuals for the F250 and up. They also started making the GM 6 speeds after New Venture Gear Co. went under. ZF also supplies transmissions to the Ford GT super car, BMW and other high end European made vehicles.

I know they make several automatics as well but I do not mess with any autos so I can tell you what they produce.

You must be hercules because while I am strong and able to handle a T-56 no problems, it felt heavier than 80lbs to me.

This was back in January 2009.

Not to get off Topic... but that F150 is one hell of truck all the way around.
