Pete A Member 442 Member For: 16y Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill NSW Posted 20/03/09 10:48 AM Share Posted 20/03/09 10:48 AM Ok so I got a fg xr6t with the zf trans....now when it changing gears it seems that sometimes the gear changes are harsh and not as smooth as they should be... ive only done 8000ks ...any ideas?Don't think you've got a problem. I find it changes very smooth under hard use but it is a bit harsher when you back off. Drive smooth for a couple of minutes and it's all back to normal. What a great box! Hope it doesn't go away soon. Hope Ford appreciates just how good this box is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gears shift ok if your driving slowly but if you put you foot down that little bit extra to overtake etc. the box doesnt change gears, It just keeps winding out past 5000 if you let it. This happens in normal and performance mode in 2nd and 3rd gear. If you switch to tiptronic and manually change it does this without a problem. Any suggestions?

Its a feature that comes along in the auto modes once you've been driving it hard. Next time it does it, try touching the accelerator pedal lightly, that should bring it into the next gear...
