He ended up selling the ute a month later.....←Got a name? You must remember that if you stuff up the shift completely just once on a perfect box, it is all over. Ben.

markxr6t Member 476 Member For: 20y 3m 28d Location: Perth WA Posted 12/04/06 11:47 AM Share Posted 12/04/06 11:47 AM Know how you feel mate - I've been burnt before - I now ring for quotes (my 45k service cost $150 at Centre Ford with me providing my own oil).As for warranty claims, my next Ford will be out of warranty when I buy it so I can just go and get things fixed, pay for it and know its done properly. Getting things fixed under warranty just shouldn't be the headache it so often is....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(eg shift from 5th to 1st?)← If you burn the fork pads the hub will intermittantly lay over and ruin shift quality in that gear or gear pair. You may damage or de-laminate the synchro material, or do dog damage to the hub or gear. Driving with a clutch not bled correctly can do damage also. Remember, this is worst case, and as people have said, some miss a gear often and do no harm, but it is possible, and it may not be the customers fault. I know a bloke (not one of our dealers), that broke a rear CV test driving a customers GT-P, so stranger things have happened. Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
