Disadvantages of the Ford IB6 gearbox
- Despite its light weight and compact design, this is a very reliable manual transmission;
- The only issue is that due to the small amount of lubricant, this transmission is prone to leaks;
- All complaints about synchronizer noise and the like are caused by low oil levels;
- Worn out input shaft bearings or reverse gear failure are also common;
- Also, all transmission versions are equipped with a dual-mass flywheel, which isn’t the most durable.
