I was driving along goind around 110 km/h when suddenly what seemed to be the transmission, started jerking for a few seconds. Immediately after, the revs shot up to 3500, I'm assuming it went into 'limp' mode. I then started hearing strange noises such as a loud grinding noise coming from under the car, I immediately pulled over and could smell some sort of fluid, but there are no leaks. Now whenever I select Drive or Reverse I hear this grind noise. I assume this is very bad, has anyone else had a similar problem.. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just checked the oil level, it's good Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93122-ba-falcon-transmission-problem/#findComment-1636657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid a mechanic to fit another transmission, but it still jerks when coasting and slips gears.. Apparently very common. Definitely won't be buying another BA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93122-ba-falcon-transmission-problem/#findComment-1636962 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the fluid level checked ASAP before you hurt the replacement. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93122-ba-falcon-transmission-problem/#findComment-1636963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
