Jake F6 Donating Members 327 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Location: Melbourne Posted 19/02/19 10:02 AM Share Posted 19/02/19 10:02 AM Hi guys. I have been living with low speed (I.e. driving slowly in a car park) driveline shunt, but I want to try sort it out if at all possible. Reading on the forums it seems that Ford claims this to be normal etc. however, I would like a way to eradicate as much of the low speed shunt as possible. I had a new Eaton TruTrac diff put in at G&J Diffs Dandenong hoping this would fix the issue, at the same time the guys also checked the diff bushes - all was apparently OK with the bushes. Whilst the car was on the hoist the guy was moving one of the rear wheels backward/forwards, and it moved quite a bit so there is some slack somewhere. Any thoughts? Suggestions of where I could take it in South East Melbourne to get sorted? Cheers, Jake.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,432 Member For: 17y 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 19/02/19 10:10 AM Share Posted 19/02/19 10:10 AM almost any ford specialist is the way to go... but G&J should have been able to diagnose it, realistically. Sounds like diff slop or CV's, if the wheels can move backwards/forwards like that...

They only lock when they're being driven forward. Even engine braking or coasting unlocks them.

Should not be able to free move wheels but I may be reading to much into it take it to a driveline specialist rather than a mechanic. Usually a gearbox/driveline guy is best (I’ve found) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94603-fg-f6-manual-driveline-shunt-at-low-speed/#findComment-1675339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK - I will take it to a driveline place, and see if they can diagnose where the slack is coming from. Any recommendations in Melbourne South-East ? Cheers, Jake.
