Guest Turbo-6 Guests Posted 28/06/03 05:31 AM Share Posted 28/06/03 05:31 AM When I move the shifter from D to sequential shift, nothing happens, I.e. the transmission does not go into Performance mode, and I can't manually change gears. But if I turn the car off and back on again, it will work - what's going on??

Guest Turbo-6 Guests Posted 20/07/03 04:55 AM Share Posted 20/07/03 04:55 AM Just to update this topic, my dealer could not find any problem, but I think I now know what is happening. If I turn the car off in Neutral, move the shifter into Park then restart, the sequential shift will not work. I must always stop and start the vehicle in the same position (Neutral or Park) for the SSS to work. Pretty weird...

I normally pull the handbrake up, take my foot of the brake pedal, then just sit it in N for a couple of seconds, then move it to Park and turn it off. Stops the "Clunk" when you move it from Park to Drive Edited 21/07/03 01:02 AM by Mals BA XR6T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4040-problem-with-auto-sss/#findComment-37630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might also been luck!!! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4040-problem-with-auto-sss/#findComment-37642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
