Posted 11/02/17 09:54 AM Share Posted 11/02/17 09:54 AM Gday guys So I've recently installed a reinforced flex plate and I did a ZF service at the same time. Just chucked it off the stands to take it for a drive. I am now stuck in third gear. When I flick it over to sports mode it flashes a 3 and in normal drive the D flashes. I have a very sloppy gear stick selector now which was fine before and feels like I have gained another gear when going from D back to P. Sometimes its very rough as well, Like a banging sound if I don't push the stick back to P fast. Here are some videos of what I am getting. Can any one help me please?

Did you just unclip the selector cable end ( female ) from the male stud on the box selector or did you full undo and dismantle the cable selector assembly on removal ? 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92918-stuck-in-third-gear/#findComment-1631401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either misaligned or broken. Time to get under/in the car and check.

Turns out the bracket that holds the cable to the box has a washer but it goes BEHIND the bracket. This made the cable line up perfectly with the selector! Thanks everyone for your help 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92918-stuck-in-third-gear/#findComment-1631487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
