Take it to a trans guy with the knowledge and Zf experience.

Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 9m 18d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 10/12/12 12:27 AM Share Posted 10/12/12 12:27 AM Mine looks like it's slipping as well. If I'm in 3rd gear going up to 2k RPM it suddently drops to about 1400-1500rpm, But if I'm over 2K it pulls fine. Classic slippage?

Rebuild cost depending on where you go is between $2500 and $4000 and involves machining and sledging the case as well as the valve body as this I was told by more than one place is the basis of the problem, it starves 3rd of oil and the band brakes and gouges the case. The other option is a 6 speed conversion though it about a $5000 deal.

Ford say they dont need it but they definately do, new pan/filter and fluid either genuine or aftermarket stuff GW, nulon, Transmax Z. chances are a service will stop it slipping for a while but once it starts slipping its definatly going to happen again... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83148-zf-slipping-in-2nd-and-sometimes-3rd/#findComment-1336474 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 11m 22d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 27/12/12 09:19 PM Share Posted 27/12/12 09:19 PM (edited) I think mine has always had what some might consider to be slip from new. Even after the ZF tune, under light throttle it feels like its got a bloody cvt sometimes - mainly 2-3 change. I've noticed it more since the x-force went on. The car has only just clocked 30k. It has never gone into limp mode at powercruise events etc. Nail it, it chirps 2nd (3rd sometimes) and every change from there is nice and firm. Maybe this is normal?
