Posted 17/05/06 09:59 AM Share Posted 17/05/06 09:59 AM Hey guyssince ive had my car ive noticed that when putting it in2 reverse it takes a little time ie 3 sec or so to register and shift. When I do reverse b4 it shifts it gives a big jolt. I gave it 2 my mechanic and he said its weird aswell. In drive its fine no dramas.So I took it 2 ford 2day to see if theres anything wrong coz its still under warranty, and he said its normal . Just wondering if it happens to any1 else.cheerssteven Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25426-reverse-in-an-auto/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 4m 14d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 17/05/06 11:28 AM Share Posted 17/05/06 11:28 AM My XR6T is the same with a few second delay in engaging reverse. Never bothered to ask Ford about it as I figured their response would be "it's normal". However, at work we have a couple of BA n/a utes and one is far worse at changing into reverse than my car and the other is lightning fast (or normal, how it should be). My previous car, an EB GLi with 200,000km on the clock was just the same as the "lightning fast" BA work ute. I think it's just the luck of the draw.

I am not holding my breath though... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25426-reverse-in-an-auto/#findComment-383003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
