ZF6 auto fluctuating revs and rough change down

[08 fg turbo]

Hey everyone,I've had a few XR6 turbos most of which have been manual,finally got a FG with a ZF6 auto and it's starting to change down rough from 3rd 2nd and 1st.

Revs have been fluctuating when cold.

I don't have an external cooler but plan on getting one soon.

Who's rebuilt there ZF6?? and how much was it?? I know it ain't Gunna be cheap.

Car isnt tuned and don't really plan in tuning it so I don't see the need to get the box built for power or anything like that,just after advice on your personal experience whether it was a fluid change or a new valve body or converter etc.

Cheers champions I hope to hear from you ??

prob needs a service, where are you based can point you in the right direction.

Yeah probably needs a service like freaky said and also you'll want to be changing out the heat exchanger for a brand new unit every major service lest it rust and destroy your ZF.

Dude just buy a new one. They aren't that expensive and are very easy to replace. Mine died at 150,xxxkm. Thank fark I caught it immediately and hadn't wrecked the trans.

Last time I priced it up to do at home, a full stock rebuild was about 2k. That is just for consumable trans parts and doesn't include tools to fit new bushes or any extras such as oil, metal pan, cooler, mounts, converter, etc.

 

If you can do it yourself then you can save some money as not everything will be worn but if you can't then I wouldn't think twice about paying a professional to do it.

 

Shops actually do charge a fair price when you add it up.
