Try disconnecting the battery for 10minutes to see if it resets?

Possibly also mode has changed to becauseracecar. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82648-fg-zf-staying-in-gear-too-long-in-drive/#findComment-1318046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Steve said, car thinks your about drive like a race car so it tries to hold the revs up for you to give it another squirt or to slow you down with engine brake.It shouldn't do it for much longer than 2 or 3 seconds though and as you said, if it does just shift up in perf mode and shift back to drive Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82648-fg-zf-staying-in-gear-too-long-in-drive/#findComment-1318093 Share on other sites More sharing options...
