iwilde Member 4 Member For: 17y 10m 9d Posted 02/07/12 04:18 AM Share Posted 02/07/12 04:18 AM Hi guys, been a long time member but time for my first xr6t. I test drove an 09 auto with 65k on the clock and was very suprised at how well it drove. The only issue I could pick up was when slowing to a complete stop there was a clunk comming from the rear somewhere? If I braked quickly it wasn't there, or not noticable only when braking lightly. Any assistance would be great, I did do a search but could not find the same clunk I was feeling. Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80797-fg-xr6t-test-drive-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely normal.As far as I know the only way to fix is to get a zf tune? Although I have heard of people claiming their zf learns to start in 2nd from stops based on their driving patterns.Not 100% sure though.

Just for reference mine is a 2011 FG'T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80797-fg-xr6t-test-drive-issue/#findComment-1262733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1NSANE Donating Members 279 Member For: 14y 11m 9d Gender: Male Location: South West Melbourne Posted 04/07/12 08:30 AM Share Posted 04/07/12 08:30 AM Does a zf tune fix this? Mine did it, then it got fixed under warranty by getting zf out to retune the tranny, then I got the engine tuned and it came back, then I got the zf tune and it is worse than ever. If it can be removed with a zf tune then me and my tuner need to have some words.

If they are all like that it may be the deal breaker for me.
