The ZF6 is your only bolt-in option.

I have heard that the ZF can be a problematic transmission. Is this a good idea to replace with a brand new zf or should i consider other routes even though it will not be a direct bolt in.

what are some feasible options?

Are these common problems?

whats wrong with your old one?

IMHO, the ZF6 is one of the best manual trans out there.

kinda sounded like a rattle can at idle and would barely go into gear.

and its full of fluid? where are you located?

856SPEED

the ZF can be noisy w/an aluminum FW, but good luck finding a more durable manual gear box....they can take a beating....never heard of many people having problems w/them....the hydraulics can start leaking from the master/slave cylinder but that is not an issue with the transmission itself.....
