Allways unbolt the convertor because they never line up back in the pump easily even if you pull it straight out and push back in. Lucky you sorted it anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had issues with fitting mine but clearly there can be some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky you sorted it anyway Yea I've always done it the proper way over the years on various cars but this is the first time the loom got caught in such a BS position and it just got me frustrated so I took a shortcut and we all know how those end up.

XR6Twannabe Member 21 Member For: 11y 11m 14d Posted 31/05/18 10:02 AM Share Posted 31/05/18 10:02 AM I just got my BF XR6 Turbo ZF6 auto back from a tune, making about 360rwkws, but already I've noticed a couple of times under full load that it's failed to change from 2nd to 3rd and got to about 6,000rpm before it hit rev limiter and just cut all power... I see a lot of people talking about their ZF6 slipping, but I think this is different? I'm thinking the ZF6 is in need of a service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6Twannabe Member 21 Member For: 11y 11m 14d Posted 31/05/18 11:29 PM Share Posted 31/05/18 11:29 PM just over 100,000kms... I don't believe the gearbox has ever been serviced... maybe I should get one anyway? the car was first tuned about 5 years ago, and then more recently just a few days ago... one thing I've noticed since the tune a few days ago is that the car drives and changes gears a lot smoother... it feels like the gearbox was more aggressive with the previous tune.. I don't know if this could have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6Twannabe Member 21 Member For: 11y 11m 14d Posted 02/06/18 06:39 AM Share Posted 02/06/18 06:39 AM ahh I think it’s flaring/slipping too. in manual mode, was in 3rd and at about 4,000rpm I changed to 4th. went into 4th and the revs actually went up a little then back to around 4,000rpm.

Regardless, being at 100,000 km, you should service the trans anyway. It's not that big a job that people make it out to be.
