thanks old_mate. I did think it might just be the stall converter but wanted to check. Always been a manual man. This is my first auto.

Hi everyone, Tried searching but couldn't get a result that matches my question. I'm sure its there somewhere. When I'm stopped say at the lights and I go to take off I can hear that the engine rpm has started to rise but the car doesn't move then it takes up and accelerates quickly. It feels like the manual equivalent to dropping the clutch. It is not harsh, no clunks or anything like that just a delay between the engine accelerating and the transmission transferring the power to the wheels. Is this normal behaviour for the ZF?

Hey Guys and Girls, I just took delivery of my XR50 Turbo in Winter White and thoiught I would say hi. This is my Second Turbo Falcon after a break to dabble in the Jap scene. Loving being back in a comfortable sports sedan since the local council is having a little difficulty keeping the roads in check. (They actually circle the potholes in white paint rather than fix them, I'm sadly not kidding) Its amazing how much the FG has improved over the BA MKII. Never thought I would buy an auto but the ZF doesn't have the charateristics that would make manual the easy decision. So far I'm stoked, can't wait till Christmas to take her on a long trip. Now I just need a name for her. If I brought a G6ET I could call her Ethel or Gertrude (just joking I think the G6ET is a great car aswell, if it had an LSD I would be all over it) got any ideas on a name let me know.
