Accelerate From Standstill, Doesnt Move But Turbo Spools?

Hey everyone,

The car is a 2010 fg mk2 xr6 turbo. 6 speed auto

The issue has happened 6 times now. What is happening is when I push the throttle down (doesnt matter how hard or if its in drive or first gear) there is a hesitation of about a second, you hear the turbo spooling but revs are not high (about 2500rpm orso) then when it gets going it goes spastic straight into wheelspin. I bought it second hand with 30k kms on the clock. I took it back to ford and they said its fine, no fault codes or anything. Brakes arnt grabbing as it rolls and wheels are not spinning. Foot is also off the brake

Any advice would be great on helping me sort out what is going on.

Sounds like a transmission issue. If its out of warranty, take it to someone that knows these transmissions..

Doesnt sound right though. I think my ol ladys Territory used to do this and it was also a ZF 6 speed.

Sorry it's a 2012 not 2010, so still has warranty. So I should basically tell them to keep it until its fixed? That's what I'm thinking of doing

You have to prove it to them that there is a problem.

Box is defiently not slipping. Hasnt happened in a while, I drove it really hard for a full tank and the box just feels much better. Changes alot more smoother, launches better and doesnt do the issue I had. Quite weird indeed.
