Xr6 Issues

[XR6 NaT]

Hey guys I think this is the right area to post this!

I recently brought a ford xr6 (NA) upgrade from a supra

have some issues with the car!

Biggest one being the shifting, when I am in park and go down to reverse it is a little clunky and makes a wierd noice which is not heard when changing into any other gear. Also when it is put back into park it aslo makes a large noise.

Its not coming from the inside and im not quite sure if its normal anyone have any idea??

The other thing would be the front bar, its is very lose when pressure is applied to the bottom and forced up and down.

I have compared this with another mates XR6T and it is very similar

not sure if its a coincidence or not. Anyone else have this problem.

Thanks in advance guys

Thanks alot for that, thought the car might have been in a accident or something.

paranoing the hell out of me!

I had a close listen to the gear box again noise is still there. As soon as it is in in Reverse from Park u hear a click which I think isnt normal :S

if anyone can help appreciate it, cheers

Perhaps the uni's are flogged in the tail shaft? Saggy bumper is common.

The main diff bolt might be loose or the bush busted. Try to have a look at the diff while someone changes in to reverse, if it's jumping up and down it's the bush or the bolt, or both.

I've had the same issue with my auto, clunking loudly from park to reverse on occasions. However I attributed that to the park lock pawl disengaging when there was undue pressure on it. To avoid that I do the following when parking ....

select neutral --> apply handbrake fully --> then select park

Any slope in the road then puts the pressure on the brake and not the auto, and I've never had a clunk since then. Give that a try - maybe it'll help.

Speaking of reverse, have you guys ever had trouble with reverse taking a long time to engage? I'm starting to have that trouble with the engine at normal operating temp, and it takes 5-10 secs for it to engage when I shift from D to R when parking. No problems when the engine is cold. When it does engage, there's a faint click fromt he auto when it finally engages. I've also noted that if I gently blip the throttle when it doesn't engage, it comes to its senses immediately and reverse engages, usually with a lurch backwards. A bit disconcerting/embarrasing waiting for it when doing a 3-pt turn in heavy traffic.

HI I had the same problem delay into reverse I put a sepate oil cooler now it goes in to reverse straight away its a pwr brand

Thanks guys, its not before it goes into reverse more as when it is already engaged,

as soon as it is put in you hear a click doesnt sound healthy.

Diff looks OK by the way, any other ideas

That click you're hearing when engaging park is just the park lock pawl engaging in the auto. I hear it too but that's quite normal.
