discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 4m 30d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 09/05/16 12:23 PM Share Posted 09/05/16 12:23 PM (edited) As mentioned by John I drive manual mode, all day, errry day It's because I enjoy the tighter control over gear selection in all circumstances, be it cold, towing, spirited driving, overtaking, highway fuel use reduction, rolling up to lights in neutral etc. Part of this is also to eliminate the lurch issue. Stop in second and only shift to 1st once dead still and settled. I experienced the other variation once (from www.thelurch.com) where I almost stopped, hit the pedal and it dropped to first and just about lost traction turning on to a road...not fun. However, it's crappy that an auto can't auto without banging around and I'd like it if it wouldn't. PS fluid change makes it smoother in general, just had mine done and noticed the difference. Won't fix a lurch though.

I took another members suggestion to drive manual mode and I'm sorta hooked to driving this way mostly now! even when I pull up in 2nd it still has a little lurch when I select 1st.

I only get a lurch when im using manual mode. othewise its pretty nice Was just talking to Luke tonight about a fluid flush.... looking forward to seeing the improvements (not for lurch, but for a faint surging when cold using cruise control) 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91950-zf-lurch/page/2/#findComment-1589588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was overdue if I'm being honest. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91950-zf-lurch/page/2/#findComment-1589592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes off fine for daily driving in second, I know if I'm ever driving grandma around I let it stay in second when I take off. If you smash it to the floor I'm sure it still still kicks back to first right Gordon?

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 24d Gender: Male Posted 10/05/16 07:08 AM Share Posted 10/05/16 07:08 AM get hp tuners and make the change yourself on the transmission tune. It is one number in the trans tune that needs to be changed to get it to change down to first when coming to a stop under normal driving. Taking off in 2nd tuning and kick back when flooring it is a PIA. It drives much better when taking off in 1st also. It is very easy to do.
